Who was responsible on coming up with the term " bug" concerning computers?

quote:

In 1945, Grace Murray Hopper was working on the Harvard University Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator (a primitive computer).

On the 9th of September, 1945, when the machine was experiencing problems, an investigation showed that there was a moth trapped between the points of Relay #70, in Panel F.

The operators removed the moth and affixed it to the log. (See the picture above.) The entry reads: "First actual case of bug being found."

That was quick. Thanx bedstor.

Congratulations, bedstor, I've heard a couple of false etymologies.

And I heard your account many years ago from the lips of Grandma Cobol herself. I remember her as a charming, spirited woman, who wore her navy uniform with immense pride. She had beautiful skin into old age, and the photo on that website does not do her justice. But she wouldn't mind. She had too many interests, and was too outgoing, to occupy her mind with silly things like vanity!
