ADEPTAPRIL/SEPT09


 Mistigram: we don't want to celebrate computer bugs but it sure is useful to be able to find and address them! On this day in 1947, actual computer debugging was achieved for the first time by removing a moth that had gotten into the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator, being tested at Harvard University. AdeptApril has illustrated in #ANSIart the log of the incident, complete with taped moth!
