Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates.

The two geocaches of the "Prisoner of the '70s" mini series are dedicated to the history of the Unix operating system.

We saved the coordinates in our pet PDP-11 mini computer. For a 40 years old machine, it is still quite operational. Ready to try it out?
