Interesting site. But I don't believe what I read, especially when it comes to computer stuff ;-)
I don't mean to be offensive Jerry, but It is interesting that Americans discovered the first bug after the English had destroyed their programmable computer.
This is true. Both the Germans and the English had one before the Americans. But, I was talking about the coining of the word, "BUG". Yes I realize that. snip>
I am interested in establishing which of us is 'correct', so don't drop out here. Note: I said 'establish', not 'prove I am right'. I hate that!
I'm not a drop out, but I did drop (by way of a baseball bat) some jerk out of my helicopter at an altitude he was not prepared to drop from. Jerry, read me well: I did not imply that you were a drop out; I meant don't drop out of the conversation - I am interested in your opinion. Anyway, does the 'helicopter' incident mean that you have been a skydiver? I did some jumping in my youth.
