About This Item

New Page 1

I travel a lot for work. Over the years I have used multiple technologies to contact home. Technology quickly becomes obsolete so I now have a pile of old technology sitting around the house. So I took 3 of the main ones I have used and made them into travel bugs. In keeping with the traveling and getting home theme I am going to drop them off on different trips throughout the country with the goal of getting them home.

This one is a Sprint Merlin card, basically a  cell phone modem, it replaced my Nokia cell phone in late 2003 and was much faster.  It was in use until late 2005 when Sprint came out with a newer version of the card that can hit speeds close to DSL!  Not sure what can come next but I'm sure my SUPER card I am using now will be replaced by something faster in a year or two.

The 3 bugs are
TBNFVK – a USR 33.6 modem card
TBN1KV – a Nokia 5165 TDMA cell phone
TBMVEW – a Novatel Merlin C201 cell card

Please note that all of these bugs are all nonworking items.

    I pulled this one from the cache it was listed in since it had been sitting so long. Unfortunately, I took it farther away. Sorry. I will see what local cachers can help it back on course. -SLT
