Have you ever installed and tried out a program all because of the kawaii little -tan that represents it? If so which programs?

I have. I installed Opera, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, and Nvu. lol. Of those I continued using Thunderbird and still have Opera on my comp.

hmm, maybe not programs, but files. :3

since this is a shared family computer, i have to be careful of what i install. downloading they're none the wiser, but programs show up EVERYWHERE, so things have gotten deleted (*sniff* orbit!! noes!! ;_; *weep*)

All the time...
LOL, searching for the right emulators, or the right software for them...
Or a right guide/the right info on programming or the environment in wich i am programming... :D
Yeah, i do love those old-skool systems...
I am currently searching for an early microcomputer to build and program myself from the ground up...

I am also so interested in vintage systems! It was C-Chan's vintage OS-tan characters that got me interested in vintage systems and Bella's historical OS-tan characters that got me interested in the even older OSes! (before late 2006, I was a purely Apple fangirl)

Unlike a lot of you, nostalgia isn't always so sweet for me. Mac System 7.5 was the first OS I used and it is one of the worst! (Waaah... Out of all the versions of System 7, I ended up with the really bad one!) But while I still did have fond memories of the first computer I used and played games on it (Games, on my Macintosh? It's more likely than you think!), I cannot overlook all the crashing and that time the Sad Mac icon appeared and nearly scared me away from the computer for good!

I still use the Classic Mac OS from time to time though now though now I use System 6.0.8! :D

sadly, i was not that computer literate. but then, my first os was at about 6 and that was 98 first edition (yay non-scanner friendliness!) 95 if you count my uncle's. so i never had to learn about DOS. i actually only heard about it a few years ago off a tshirt. ^^;
