Coke Bottle Fuel Tank -- WAY OFF TOPIC :-)

[Lewis, Richard]

I though that was the original interpretation of the term.  Early
computers were prone to being fouled by actual bugs getting in the their
circuits and fouling them up....

There's a new interpretation of bugs in the system!

Years ago, I did PCB repair on cash register systems.
Occasionally we would get a system in that someone had spilled coke in
it. Coke would eat the copper etches right off the boards. And, what was
left was almost impossible to solder to. 

Then, there was the table-top video game from the local bar. Over time,
people spilled beer and some ran down inside. Best I could tell, the
beer did no real damage, but the roaches sure loved it. We had to take
it back to the shop, set it in the middle of the parking lot, open all
the doors and empty a can of Raid inside. An hour later, there were dead
roaches in a 30 ft diameter circle.

Then it was time for me to work on it. :-(
