to be the first programmer . (!)

*1947*    A moth, accidentally entering the *Mark II,* causes the 
failure of relay number 70 in panel F. The first "bug" has been "born". 
Mrs. Grace Murray Hoppers finds the poor thing and tapes it in her log 
book with an entry. Mrs. Murray Hopper will eventually become the first 
female Rear Admiral of the United States of America.
