Geocache Description:


English inventors have made numberous great inventions - the steam engine, the telephone, toothbrush, jet engine, spam... the list goes on. Not every invention however earns eternal fame and glory, and one of these forgotten ones are the Microwriter MW4. Released in 1978, it is a small hand-held portable word-processor with a chording keyboard. After about one hour of practice you will be able to write whatever you want using only one hand without even having to move your fingers. Write when you wait for the bus, when you are out for a walk or when you are at a boring party!

I guess you're wondering now - why haven't i heard of this miracle? Well - for one thing you have to practice for at least an hour before you can even write one word. Further, you can't see what you have written, can't edit it and as soon as you want to write any special character the input soon becomes rather messy.

In order to get the final coordinates you have to translate this input code to words and letters. The cache is an ordinary lock'n'lock containing a logg book and something that are the reason you have never heard of the MW4...
