Also, Eddie you made me remember this from a few weeks ago. I know this is not video game related, but computer related and very much along the lines of "First". Did you ever wonder where the term computer bug got its handle from? Well here ya go, form Wired magazine-
"We hold a special place in our Wired hearts for all of these machines. But if we were forced to choose one seminal moment from the 1940s, we can't help but pick the arrival of the world's first computer bug.
The bug is one of computing's great metaphors. But in the beginning, it wasn't a metaphor. It was the real thing.
At Harvard, in the late 1940s, the Mark 1 was succeeded by two other machines, known -- appropriately enough -- as the Mark II and the Mark III. One fateful day, the Mark II stopped working, and an operator named Bill Burke traced the glitch to a moth stuck in one of the machine's relays. The term bug had been used in the past with other devices, but Grace Hopper -- the US Naval officer who was one of the Mark I's first programmer -- took the word and ran with it. When she wrote up the incident in her log, she included the moth.
"First actual case of bug being found," the log read. And computing would never be the same."
