Hiya,

I cant remember when I read the term &q= uot;automagically" for the first time, but I am sure it was a long tim= e ago.
But I always associate it with Arthur C. Clarke's thir= d law : "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable fro= m magic."

Here they cite printed works which contain= the word:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Citations:automagical#English<= /a>
and the first reference dates back to 1987.

As far as I know this term was first used by the authors of the (now discon= tinued) brazillian Linux distribution Kurumin. They created sets of BASH sc= ripts that automated lots of installation proccess so that a novice user co= uld configure non-trivial hardware with just a click on a menu item. There = were said to so "automagicamente" (automagically), as it looked e= ven easyer than simpler automatic task available at the time.
