Straight from Wikipedia, fantastic Now sure what relation he was to King Edward, which confuses reading the article a little, or at least it did for me, but it's mostly about the king and not the prince.
All yours...

I had another read and I can't make heads or tails out of it. All I can see is he was the son of Henry VI but nothing on Edward IV.
Anyway................
How did the term "Computer Bug" originate?

Ya, it seems that King Edward IV was both preceded and succeeded by Henry VI. Henry was somehow overthrown by Edward, and Henry responded in kind 9 years later in 1470. Then the following year, Edward returned, defeated the Henry guys at the Battle of Tewkesbury (following which Henry's son Edward ended up dead), and King Henry died a few days later, allowing Edward to become king again.
Edward IV was succeeded by the 12-year-old Edward V, who disappeared shortly afterwards and was later declared to be illegitimate. He was succeeded by Richard III (who probably had him killed), and he was himself overthrown by Henry VII. Great fun.
Computer bug, then; take your pick:

Thomas Edison, 1878 said:
It has been just so in all of my inventions. The first step is an intuition, and comes with a burst, then difficulties arise - this thing gives out and (it is) then that 'Bugs' - as such little faults and difficulties are called - show themselves and months of intense watching, study and labor are requisite before commercial success or failure is certainly reached.

In 1946, when Hopper was released from active duty, she joined the Harvard Faculty at the Computation Laboratory where she continued her work on the Mark II and Mark III. Operators traced an error in the Mark II to a moth trapped in a relay, coining the term bug. This bug was carefully removed and taped to the log book. Stemming from the first bug, today we call errors or glitch's (sic) in a program a bug.

Great findings! It just goes to show how interesting history can be.
Correct!
To be honest and quite shocked in fact, I never came across Thomas Edison.
Your go
