Current Goal

After years of good service, an old computer has become 'distributed' (!) and having started life in Malaysia, wishes to visit as many countries and caches as possible on further world travel.

About This Item

Distributed Computer - CPU

A bug with only a few legs left, and probably had a bit of a hard time with the static electricity with conversion for travel. ;-)

  • Landed in Vermont Here's our new friend as we were saying goodbye to him at his new cache site in Vermont. He came with us all the way from San Fransisco, and even attended a programming class with me at Oracle University (my reason for being in San Fran). However, being a rather slow and old processor, he crashed and decided to continue on in his retirement as a true travel bug. Where to next?

Retrieved TB from Mr/Mrs Hedgehog. Safely made it back to Silicon Valley in California (San Jose) and then a quick ride up to San Francisco area.

This appears to be the most realiable computer I've interacted with in quite some time. Seems to enjoy not having to interface with Windows. 🙂

I wonder if computer parts like beaches. We'll find out. 😎

Felt sorry that it was from a 'broken home' and will look after it until I can find suitable foster parents.
