I don't know if it would be earliest usage, but I would suggest that this word was popularized as computer jargon by Douglas Adam's use of the phrase "dongly bits" in Hitchhiker's Guide in reference to unidentified technological devices that are connected to a larger device by wires. This is just an educated guess; someone with more time on their hands than myself may want to research it. MolotovH (talk) 07:08, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
