Title: Not really a technical topic
Post by: Xairbusdriver on October 02, 2007, 05:44:19 PM
We've been told that the first use of the term "bug" in computerdom arose because a real insect found its way into the hardware of a very early computer and caused a problem. Apparently, Apple is making sure that is not possible in some of its hardware. Behold:<The Inside of a New Aluminum iMac>

Unfortunately, "bugs" have mutated into digital invertebrates and can now live inside "code!" But it's probably more comfortable living in software than in hardware! You saw that coming, didn't you? Groaner.gif

No doubt many have considered that type of exercise when confronted with computer problems! eek2.gif

That isn't me, although I kind of looked that way in my younger days; I think that's the way IT people dress in Scotland (perhaps Sandyman could verify this).  When worse comes to worse we just shake a large hammer at the offending piece of &$#*$, er hardware!  smile.gif
