    That's a little vague. What are you looking for? I recently had a discussion about software bugs with my 8-year old daughter and this article was good for colour: http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/tek1/first_computer_bug.htm[^] David

      I know about Eniac forward, some history of the previous mechanical automated calculators (depending on who you ask they are computers, or pre-computers). How early are you looking for?

                      Probably from the era when you first started using computers. ;P Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash 24/04/2004
