PS --- don't you love the term "bug". Where I used to work, they had the
late Grace Murray Hopper in to give us a talk every few years. One of
her anecdotes of the early days was how the term came about. One time a
"down" was caused by an insect getting into the machine and causing a
short. Could just picture the glee of those people as youngsters as they
attached the specimen* and pages and pages about its life cycle, etc. to
the hated "problem report" they were required to submit for every "down"
as a sort of protest. So naturally, the next time they came over with a
report on a down the response was "OK, what kind of a bug was it this
time".
* They had sent over to the Smithsonian for an ID and as much
information about it as possible, so they had a LOT of pages to append.
That's hilarious!
