    I am not 100% positive but I believe that is Grace Hopper’s handwriting or if not she was there. Unfortunately it was a joke even then as bugs were a general term even then for issues in machinery, at least according to a talk by the aforementioned “Computer Science Man of the Year” award winner. Yes, Grace Hopper was the inaugural winner of that award … times have changed.
