#4 This was imported from the "Linotype" which creates metal letters for printing... hence the name upper case and lower case, since the matrices were stored in the upper part of the machine.

"The term "bug" in computing has been around a long time. The term was not commonly used until an actual bug landed on an electrical switch causing the computer to malfunction.(Returning a zero when it was supposed to be a 1). The term bug grew in popularity afterwards and landed us where we are today.
When we find a bug in software we apply a "patch"...
This comes from old cardex/punch card systems. If a punch card was punched in the wrong spot, you could fix it by applying a patch to the hole."
