6. What in the Hell does 'buggy' infer?

Maybe I am too old for this business.

But I would still like to know what 'buggy' is.

8. Things aren't working as they should/disappearing, etc.

You know "bugs" gumming up the works. It's really an old term that I'm surprised you aren't familiar with Tom.

10. Thanks. I am relatively late to the Game...

I am really ignorant of any words or terms/phrases that are beyond my ken.

I thank you for the nod (for how the heck else would I learn anything while gazing at this screen?).

I should have known that.

on edit:

I begin every sentence with "I".

14. Back in the day

when computers were behemoths full of mechanical relays, a dead moth was once discovered in the works that was causing programs to go wayward. Hence, "bug" and "buggy."

15. Hey Tom...

...I was a teen in Muncie, IN in the 70s -- the late Grace Hopper (the woman mentioned in this article) visited Ball State University and delivered a lecture about computers where she gave her second hand account of the first computer "bug" and the derivation of the term -- maybe more info than you really wanted, but:

16. That was really cool..

Thank you for that.

That is the sort of stuff that I can understand and incorporate.

Tom

Wouldn't you have just loved to meet Grace Hopper?

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

17. She was a popular computer science personality in the Navy...

...I would've enjoyed meeting her.
