About This Item

f.p.b.

What better way to commemmorate one bug, than with another?

In fond memory of the infamous Pentium Floating Point Bug, I sacrifice this silicon wafer to the sea of Geocaching.

linux rules!

It appears that FPB was taken from the Seahawk Cache in early August 2002, and never logged. I'm assuming that he's MIA, and have taken him out of the cache. Who knows --- maybe he'll reappear elsewhere?

Great idea for a travel bug! I will upload some photos of the FPB while it's visiting in Thomasville. I'm going to the beach in 2 weeks, and planning on hitting a couple of caches, so I will probably try to place it there.
