Ah yes, the quote is "First actual case of bug being found" (and it was a
Mk II, not a Mk I); thanks!

Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will

She coined the
term "debugging" when she extracted a moth from a set of
relay contacts from a computer (the Harvard Mk I) and wrote "computer
debugged" in the log, taping the deceased Lepidoptera in there as well.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debugging#Origin_of_the_term which
indicates that "bug" and "debugging" had been around as technical
terms
long before that incident.
