The First Computer Bug Moth found trapped between points at Relay # 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while it was being tested at Harvard University, 9 September 1947. The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, with the entry: "First actual case of bug being found". They put out the word that they had "debugged" the machine, thus introducing the term "debugging a computer program". In 1988, the log, with the moth still taped by the entry, was in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Computer Museum at Dahlgren, Virginia.

NOTICE - SITE UNDERGOING EXTENSIVE REWRITE -

>>>This page has not yet been changed and is in the "old" format.<<<

The new page is slightly wider and the new main menu is wider as well. The bottom of the page menu is being eliminated. Failing links are being identified/removed and the HTML is being corrected/revised to better use CSS Structures and to use fewer old HTML structures. During the transition, some old pages show formatting errors in the HTML, and the page is "not quite right".  During the transition, some old pages show formatting errors in the HTML, and the page is "not quite right".

I appreciate your patience while this effort proceeds. Completion was originally estimated for December 2011. However the lengthy illness and recent death of my mother (20.Jul.2011) coupled with the effects of my strokes and my need to focus on finding employment, has caused me to reestimate completion for December.2012, gods willing and the creeks don't rise.
