Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the posted coordinates. $1 for FTF.

As a hobby I enjoy studying the history of electronic computers.

This computer is considered by many to be the world's first stored-program computer. Even though it was just a “baby” with a memory of only 32 locations, the locations were 32 bits wide like many modern computers. It can also be considered to be one of the first graphical computers. All this in a design that first ran in 1948.
Use the following program for this old computer to find the cache coordinates:
