Subject: [COFF] In Memoriam: Grace Hopper

Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.2101010751310.13533@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
We lost Rear Admiral "Amazing" Grace Hopper on this day in 1992; amongst
other things she gave us COBOL and ADA, and was allegedly responsible for
the term "debugging" when she removed a moth from a relay on the Harvard
Mk I and taped it to the log.
