Geocache Description:

Ahh the 70's. The decade bracketed by a moon landing and the assassination of a Beatle.


Many significant events happened in the 70's that would shape my life for years to come. Well first of all my life was shaped! I was born in 1972, the year after the first microcomputer was released by Intel and so an industry was born. An industry that spawned a whole new breed of professionals of which I am one.

Along with Saturday Night Fever and Bell-bottoms, several important operating systems were also release in the 1970's including Unics (later Unix) and another one you have probably never heard of called CP/M. CP/M and Unix have been that father and mother of just about every OS you have ever used.

Now onto the puzzle. There are a couple of important moments in the 70's for this cache. They are:

  • Tue, 10 Feb 1970 18:49:50 GMT
  • Mon, 22 Jun 1970 12:43:52 GMT


FTF was Cankid, Mr. Roo and Captain Tomato
