So, using "bug" for a computer bug was just a casual use of an existing term. I was really struck by that old video of T.V. from the very early 50's and remember thinking "Dude! you said 'Get the bugs out of the system'!" That cheezy old video basically revealed the computer source of the term as a cute myth based on an actual event. Oh, I see INPR took out the trash this morning. Good thing because it was starting to make a pretty big stench. Almost unbearable.
