The Northeast sounds so interesting and have such a distinct culture of their own!

Heheheheh! I admit that for a long time I thought the computer revolution started on the west coast! Back then the earliest computer I knew of was the Altair. It wasn't until late '07 onwards that I learned that UNIX originated in the Northeast, along with Multics, CTSS, and many other systems older than that! ^^;

HAH. NE ROCKS. ALL THE REST OF YOU well i'm not gonna say anything mean cause you guys are nice :3

NE is cold. it has odd weather patterns, and bells is right on the money with the ethnicity thing. my town (southern NH, almost mass) is.....well......depends on which town. the town i ACTUALLY live in (windham) is full of stuck up little richie-rich types who feel they're better than everyone else even though this is just a hick town where the biggest attractions are the castle, cobbet's pond (gross lake), the lead singer of godsmack and the fact that we seem to be a stop on the drug-running trail. :\

salem, the town i consider my REAL hometown, is ALOT more down to earth. i have friends in both towns, but from my experience, the people seem friendlier in salem, maybe it's cause there are less richie-riches and more average joes. (this is conflicting with my high school experience, i'm trying to ignore that in the name of accuracy.) salem's attractions include: canobie lake park (amusement park, lots of fun rides but the price has skyrocketed in this economy ;__; ), canobie lake (no swimming, it's the town's water), victorian mini golf, rockingham park (race track), rockingham mall, shadow lake (yes swimming), and much else. :3

oh, and they call it "soda pop" in canada, here we call it "soda". (they also call ketchup "catsup" in canada, which is wrong cause the two are two different things.)


COME TO OTACON EVERYBODY KTHXBAI

@Aurora: Every region in America has its own unique culture, but NE is probably one of the more distinct (along with, as far as I can tell, CA, the various Southern cultures, Cajun-influenced Louisiana, and the heavily Hispanic and Native-American influenced Southwest).

Yeah, I always assumed Unix was the "first modern OS", so it came as a shock realising that many OSes, perhaps even more advanced ones, originated in New England at the same time... and even dates earlier. Now there's a fairly solid case that NE gave us some of the first true "ancestral" computers to our own... Harvard Mk. I and Whirlwind did much more to inspire the mainframes and micros of the 1950s and 60s than, for instance, the ENIAC.

@Choco: Hey, I know those annoying rich NH snobs! I call them the "Townies". Occasionally they wander into our region...

My area, on the boundary between the White Mountains and Lakes Region, is home to lots of tourists, outdoorspeople, college students and generally unpretentious and polite working-class folk. We have several ski resorts within close driving distance: Waterville Valley, Loon, Cannon and Tenney Mountain, rivers and lakes all over the place (the most prominent being the Pemi River and Lake Winnipesaukee) and a huge outdoor activity-based economy (tours, etc). A lot of the people I know there are from other states, especially Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

It's just plain "pop" in Michigan and the Midwest.

I'LL TRY MKAY?

OHHHHHHH, and I'm leaving today for Rhode Island. So you're not gonna be hearing from me for a couple of weeks, or maybe, more like ~10 days. D:

Imma try to go to Block Island. I hear it's like a little Martha's Vineyard. <3

[Chocofreak13]

we'll miss you...

srsly. there's NO ONE to talk to anymore. everyone's on vacation. >__< and my southern mass area friends seem to think i died. (at least that's response i've been getting for 3 weeks. >:[ )

the friend i mentioned that was missing has been found, she's in the ICU at holy family hospital. ;___; she can't have visitors right now except family, so i don't know much.

on a brighter note i have aspired to a new mini-project: OS-TAN MAGNETS. >:3
i'm making vocaloid ones too, but this goes hand-in-hand with the pencil case idea. send me artwork you want turned into a pencil case, along with pics for a magnet set along with address, and i will start making these things for you. :3 (keep in mind that pencil case artwork will be folded in half, lengthwise. it's best to make one pic on half a sheet of 8.5" x 11", then mirror it to the other side.)

i'm so bored recently. >___<;

[Red-Machine]

Okay then, thank you. *mwah!* ^^

I'm routing for ya~ :V

OMG YAY!

Um... my entire history with guys involves getting hit on + being too shy to tell others that I like them.

I'm exactly the same.  I may be completely infatuated with a girl and I just won't have the courage to tell her.

[Chocofreak13]

I WILL WIN!!(or at least fight)

my romantic history isn't that great.

[Cockleshell]
