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 is a USR 33.6 modem card from sometime in the late 90’s, blazing fast at the time it was new, it is now considered too slow to even be used. It was replaced by a Nokia 5165 with a data cable as my preferred method of internet connection sometime around 2001..

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.

    It seems my TB was picked up and never logged. Picking it up until someone hopefully logs it.

    This is not in Tyler's Mini-Mountain Challenge, probably time to place it as missing.

    Picked up today. I did not expect this bug to complete his journey so quickly.

    Will be released again soon with a new goal.
