IE-tan

[Chocofreak13]

twas perusing through the wiki when i noticed that IE (internet explorer) tan is listed as rare.

anyone remember soul-reply.net? i remember a thumbnail pic of ie from there, and since i'm too lazy to go uprooting half my room in search ofmy copy of the pic (and the site is blocked for some dumbass reason), i doodled y'all a pic of her.

she is known for flashing her panties alot, even if it's not on purpose. not the most secure or reliable browser, but still loved and used anyway.
kinda bad pic, srry. just did quick rough.

There are actually several different IE-tan designs, some of them from +Nijiura+, but that short-haired, panty-flashing IE-tan design is still the most familiar to me. I remember soul-reply from years ago, and sad that it's gone. That was one of the first OS-tan sites I've ever been to.

[Chocofreak13]

i miss it. i joined it when i found it, it was the first site i found completely devoted to os-tan.

i have the pages of information somewhere in my room. i printed them out so i could start doodling them. the ink quality is crap, but if i ever find them again i'll be sure to post. :3

soul-reply even had info about the long-forgotten TrendMicro-kun, as well as NT-kun and even Bill Gates.

I wonder if there should be various IE-tans, or just the same one who is growing up.

It's odd since IE would be the child of the earlier windows, but it should be older than the later OS-tans too, who for some reason inherit taking care of it.

Considering all the bugs, perhaps it is a lazy moocher who they all feel obligated to care for because she's so popular and well-connected in the world?

I remember an IE for Mac-tan in the gallery somewhere...
In addition to an IE7 or so -tan.

Really, all we know about IE-tan is her appearance.

[NejinOniwa]

IE-tan is too ashamed of her inferior browsing capabilities to show her face.

[Chocofreak13]

i like the theory of "inheriting" the care of IE-tan from older OSes. it makes sense in an odd way; and the only other idea i have is some confusing time-warp shitz.

and nej, don't insult the other -tans just caouse you don't liek them. *wags finger*

[NejinOniwa]

Not doing any hating here, just spreading chaos. That's my job, you know?

[Chocofreak13]

i see. a fellow chaos-spreader! i didn't see you at the company picnic, where were you?

[NejinOniwa]

I am the company boss. I don't have time for the small things, I administrate.

[Chocofreak13]

well then you're the HOST of the damn thing! you as the president MUST show up! it's rude not to. :\

[Sora]

Sorry about that.
(I wrote the article)
(I didn't know there was more than two pictures of IE-tan around)

[Chocofreak13]

s'ok. if i can track down a pic of the panty flasher (or make one) then i will post-toast.

[Alex S]

Found the IE-tans in our gallery.




The first is apparently IE 7-tan and the second is IE for Mac-tan.

You're now aware that i'm back.
Yes, there's IE-tans.
