Hope I’m not breaking any laws, but I’ve got to let these old books soak up some Florida sun! ☀️📚 I picked these vintage computing history books on eBay, but they’ve got a terrible smell. I heard sunlight might help freshen them up! #computinghistory #BASIC

Good morning. Did you know the first computer "bug" was a literal moth jammed in a relay of the Harvard Mark II in 1947? Grace Hopper's team taped it in the logbook: "First actual case of bug being found." Talk about debugging with flyswatters! #ComputingHistory #TechHumor
