Is it because of the whole "wicked stepmother" thing in the fairy tales. I used to believe in the negative connotation because of "Cinderella" being one of my favorite childhood movies.

@Choco: Just try. Are there any questions you have about what's going on in here currently? Your interpretations? And anything else you'd like to bring up?

My explanation may need simplifying :P

Hm, that it could, all the first Macs were short, then, all of a sudden, after Antares, most are quite a bit taller.

Yes, she was raised in such a way as to be very professional and such (A/UX's security is so strong that it cannot even be emulated, A/UX recognized partitions, A/UX could scan over 4GB of Hardrive space, etc) , although from what I see, she had a silly side. She was conditioned very strongly, however, so definitely agreed that her upbringing played a very large role.

Well, there's that too, A/UX was one heck of a System :P
but the big question is... did A/UX ever have to restrain Antares? a lot happened in 1988 and I cannot find an exact release date of A/UX to check against System 6.0.2 (the patch that cured Antares) to see if my theory works of A/UX being... "made" of Antares. Though one thing is for sure, System 6 was released before A/UX.

All I can find useful is "Apple came out with their own version of POSIX compliant Unix, A/UX, in late 1988" which would put A/UX at coming out AFTER System 6.0.2, meaning Antares was fixed before A/UX came out, which would make my theory plausible. :)

@Choco: -step usually implies a divorce.
You can, you can! We can always shift topics.

I thought A/UX-tan was slightly older, as A/UX was (presumably?) released in Feb '88, and System 6.0 in Apr '88. Dammit! It's a toss-up! x__x

As for the height differences, the first outlier was System 5-tan, who is 5'4" (while System 4 and older were 4'4" or less).

Yeah, late 1988 would most likely be after system 6.0.2, as it was released more in the middle. http://www.kernelthread.com/publications/appleoshistory//4.html says System 6 is older and hints at Antares hitting 6.0.2 (apparently released in September) before A/UX (apparently being released around November/December) was actually released. Man, Apple was busy...
still, it is rather a toss up, as it's still not exact dates :)
I think I just did something monumental though!

hm... but does a ghost have a standard height they stay at? Xd but point taken.

Chocofreak13

no, a ghost wouldn't. xD but i assume that measurement was taken when she was alive.
given the timeline differences, and that ya can't seem to nail down an EXACT date, i think it would come down to storyline purposes. what does everyone think should happen? personally i like the idea of A/UX being slightly older than Antares, and acting as a sort of mentor/onee-chan figure to her. :3

A bit convoluted, but I do agree with the genetic engineering to some extent- mainly the reason why the OSXs except Rhapsody, DarwinOS, and Mac-tan/OSX-tan/OSX Public Beta... --whoever she is!!-- are catgirls.

Genetic engineering could also explain some of the height differences too. :P

Semi-related funfact: Word of God says that the the root of animal features in the Unix bloodline traces back to their part-avian ancestor, Multics. .w.

Krizonar

Individual storyline purposes suits me, since it cannot be exactly determined.

Though I think that Antares should be older, as it confirmed Antares (unstable version) is older, at least. Even if she was older, A/UX could still help her or not depending on storyline purpose and writer opinion.

Aurora Borealis

I think that'd still work just as well.

Chocofreak13

hmm, yeah. you guys know more about this than me, like i said. ^^;

Apple is about the only thing I know, computer-wise, so yeah.

Took me a little over a month to figure out you can move the Start menu.

We all have our knowledge specialties.

Chocofreak13

of course. :3

hmm, well, now that we've pretty much got that figured out, what shall we discuss next?

also, if i can get your opinion, would it be rash and foolhardy of me to dismiss the theories of those that refuse to recognize (or at least acknowledge) the canon literature? :\

Krizonar

Depends, is OS-Tan literature considered hard or soft?

Aurora Borealis

What do you mean? The original OS-tan canon? I acknowledge that, and so do most (if not all of us) here, even with the expanded universe.

Chocofreak13

eh, i've encountered a few people who forsake the canon completely to the point where it makes me want to track them down and punch them in the face. >__<;

eh, w/e. what to discuss?

Not to say that the original canon is a bit sketchy on what actually is original canon and not...

But I'd say that commonly we've just melted and melded it into our own sets of theories.
