Geocache Description:

My computer still hates me....

Further to the last two times I entered coordinates for a hide ( GC1NTW4 - Smart Alec ) and ( GC1NVDY - Smart Alec II ) I've been continuing to have problems with my finnicky computer...

This time, I tried to enter the coordinates to my latest hide (which is a micro, and at the time of press release was confirmed to be in the field), my computer died completely on me. If you've ever had a computer crash, you might notice that it usually provides one of those errors messages that you know only one guy on the entire planet can read, and Macrosuft (no, not Microsoft, I'm not trying to get sued here...) has him locked away in a basement like the keymaker in the Matrix.

Well, my computer provided this wonderful piece of information for me:

See what I mean?

Of course, because I'm in the process of hiding the cache, and making sure everything is all right, and not wanting to confuse coordinates, AGAIN, I didn't write them down, and deleted them out of my GPS before I was done.

So, can someone PLEASE go find this cache, and let me know where it is?
