The First Computer Bug was Saved. Most people know the story of Grace Hopper and how on September 9, 1945, at 3:45 p.m. she discovered that a moth caught in the wiring of the Mark II computer was causing the machine to behave erratically. Thereafter, every time the computer behaved in an unexpected manner, her group said there must be another bug. However, most people do not know that Grace taped the moth into her log, which can be seen at the Navy Military Historical Center Museum site Here. Just page down to the bottom to see history!
