==Technical details==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_6 Macintosh System 6] was released in April 1988, and was the first Classic Mac OS version to have the System Software package, System file, and Finder version numbers closely match up. System 6 added support for the 68030-based Macs, was the first Mac OS version to include a built-in program to record macros to automate keyboard and mouse commands, called MacroMaker, and had enhanced sound capabilities.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_6#Reception System 6.0 was very unstable], and had several compatibility problems. 6.0.1 fixed most of them, but 6.0.2 was the first stable version, and many Mac users still waited before switching over from System Software 5 (System 4.2 or 4.3). Despite starting with a bad reputation, [https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/System_6 System 6 later became well-regarded] and gained a following as one of the best OSes to use for some early Macs due to its speed, and stability of later releases, particularly of 6.0.7 and 6.0.8.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>''This release date is an estimate. The month and year are listed as April 1988 in many sources, and files within System 6.0 show a date of April 30, 1988, though according to Macintosh magazines, System 6.0 was released around June.''

==Character details==
Macintosh System 6-tan is represented as a very tall woman appearing to be in her early to mid-twenties with medium-length dark grayish-blue hair. She is a cyborg and has super strength, representing the leap in stability from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2 onwards, as well as being one of the references to System 6.0.8's codename of "Terminator". Her right eye is silver and her left eye is red; both of her eyes used to be silver, but one was replaced with cybernetics when she became a cyborg. Her nickname of Antares and, and frequent usage of the phrase "big deal" are references to two other codenames.

She wears a light blue minidress with long black boots, a biker jacket with a white belt, and dark sunglasses. Her belt has the rainbow Apple logo on it referencing the look of the Apple menu when System 6 is used on a color Mac. Her jacket has a Happy Mac patch on the front, and a "6.0.x" pin on the lapel. The trim of her dress and boots have black and white polka dot patterns in reference to System 6 being the last Mac OS version to have extensive use of polka dot patterns in the GUI, and how System 6 can support color, but most of the user interface remained in black and white.

She can often be serious, by instilling a lot of order at the Mac House, but can also be boisterious and enjoy friendly competitions with others. She can be kind and loyal, but has a strong competitive streak, and can sometimes get carried away and get aggressive. Her hobbies include writing, creating HyperCard stacks, and building machines.

===Family and relationships===

====A/UX====

[[A/UX | A/UX-tan]] one of System 6-tan's best friends, and her former mentor, although both of them helped each other improve. A/UX-tan was tasked to work with her since their debuts, but they quickly had a friendship because they could sympathize with the other's bad reputation, and wanted to work together to help both of them improve. System 6-tan as System 6.0 was very unstable and had compatability problems, and A/UX-tan as A/UX 1.0 did not have a complete GUI and could not run most Macintosh programs. They maintain a friendly rivalry, and like to challenge each other when they meet up again.

====System 3.4====

[[Macintosh System 3.4 | System 3.4-tan]] is System 6-tan's twin sister, owing to both of their OSes having the same Finder version. They never had a rivalry, and were never meant to compete because of System 3.4-tan's specific role as a file server OS.

====System 4 and 5====

She gets along with them very well now, and she appreciates [[Macintosh System 5 | System 5-tan's]] sense of humor, though they did not always get along. System 5-tan disliked System 6-tan for either being her successor, or for causing System 5-tan to be skipped over, but was happy that System 6-tan was initially unstable and had a bad reputation. This is owing to many Mac users still using System 4.1 or 4.2 even when 6.0.2 fixed all of the bugs that 6.0 and 6.0.1 had.

By the later part of 1989, they got along. [[Macintosh System 4 | System 4-tan]] and System 5-tan were remorseful over wanting System 6-tan to fail earlier when she nearly died. They accepted that she gained a lot of popularity, and she assured them that they were not being left behind, nor forgotten.

====System 7====
System 6-tan and [[Macintosh System 7 | System 7-tan]] were highly ambivalent towards each other for several years, sometimes working alongside each other and getting along without any problems, but having a strong rivalry at other times. When System 7-tan debuted, System 6-tan showed some goodwill towards her, but her patience towards System 7-tan was soon challenged over compatibility issues.

While trying to accept that System 7-tan is her successor gracefully, she was still compelled to compete against her. This was due to the popularity that System 6 maintained due to its lower requirements, working with certain programs that System 7 cannot, and how some early System 7-compatible Macs not running System 7 very well that some users have gotten System 6.0.7 or 6.0.8 to run on unsupported Macs.

===Abilities===
She has super speed, and the ability to control machines that she built by using a tape recorder, in reference to the MacroMaker program. She gained super strength when she became a cyborg, and became skilled at melee combat after a lot of training. In her normal mode, she cannot multitask. She can multitask by switching to her MultiFinder mode, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiFinder#Reception but this sacrifices speed], and also risks instability due to the limitations with cooperative multitasking.

==History and background==
System 6-tan made her debut in the spring of 1988, and the first impressions of her were that she had some interesting capabilities, but that she was very unstable and weak. She quickly gained a bad reputation for her instability and compatibility problems, that System 4-tan and System 5-tan maintained more of a following. She was still tasked with working with A/UX-tan, who also had problems of her own causing her to be unpopular, and helped each other improve.

As System 6.0.1, she was a lot more stable, but not all of her instabilities were fixed, but her health continued to decline. She became a cyborg in late 1988 to save her life and improve her stability further, but it did not immediately improve her reputation. She feared that she would be replaced by System 7 before she had the chance to improve her reputation, in reference to reviews as early as January 1989 stating that System 7 was expected to be released within a few months (MacWorld January 1989 issue, p.211). A/UX-tan did not want to give up on her, and trained her on how to fight and to how to control the powers she acquired.

Later in 1989, she was able to improve her reputation and gain a significant following. Just as System 4-tan and System 5-tan fought against Scores-tan and nVIR-tan in 1988, System 6-tan had mortal enemies of her own who were virus-tans, and fought against them in 1989. Her first fight was against ANTI-tan in early 1989, and during this fight, System 6-tan made her vow to defend the Mac House from threats.

She remained successful and influential through the early 1990's, and despite her rivalry with System 7-tan, they were able to work together, using their different strengths and capabilities for the Mac House.

|lastrel= Apple III Plus (discontinued Sep 1985)
}}

==Technical details==
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_III Apple III] was released as a more advanced successor to the Apple II designed for business users. It ran a new version of BASIC and a new operating system called SOS (Sophisticated Operating System) while retaining backwards compatibility. Its release included much fanfare but is still regarded as Apple's first flop ever for its high price, few software titles, limited degree of backwards compatibility, and the design flaws of its original production run: The internal clock quickly failed, and the circuits of the Apple III overheated and warped because there was no fan, and not enough ventilation.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_III#Legacy Apple III's SOS had some influence]. It influenced the design of Apple II's ProDOS and the Macintosh's Hierarchical File System.

==Character details==
===General===
Apple III-tan is represented as a woman with light red eyes, long dark red hair with three blonde streaks, and metal decorations on her hair, and outfit. She closely resembles an older, taller Apple II-tan; she has the same hairstyle, but wears her hair untied, and shorter, and her outfits black and green, the inverse of Apple II's white and red.

Her black jumpsuit is based off the DHARMA uniform from Lost, and is decorated with an Apple /// name badge. Over her uniform, she wears a dark green skirt, and a beige hooded cloak, which she wears up when around relatives. She wants to interact with them, but does not want them to know her true identity.

She is generally stoic, wise, and a cool big sister type, but still struggles with bursts of anger, and an inferiority complex. She is a pyromaniac and overheats easily. She is highly fond of "Lost", referencing the use of Apple IIIs in the show, and lives with a few of her loyal followers on a remote island. On the island she lives, she built an observatory to do research, and had ambitions to save the world.

She is Apple II-tan's immediate sister, and a half-sister to Lisa-tan and the Classic Mac-tans, as elements of the Apple III's OS influenced the Lisa and Classic Mac OSes.

===Family and Relationships===

====Apple II====
Apple III-tan admired [[Apple II | Apple II-tan]], but was at times jealous towards her over Apple I-tan spending more time with II-tan than her. She may never have actually been intended to be Apple II-tan's successor, due to the Apple III's higher price, and due to the Apple III being intended specifically for the business market. They were not meant to compete against each other, but she was still expected to follow up on her older sister's success, which put more pressure on her when she already did not have much self worth.

She felt like she failed her older sister, and did not feel worthy of being in her presence again.

====Lisa====
She and [[Apple Lisa | Lisa-tan]] were generally antagonistic towards each other because they believed that they were competing for the scarce attention that Apple I-tan was able to give them. They care enough about each other though that Apple III-tan was willing to tutor Lisa-tan, in reference to features from SOS being incorporated into the Lisa OS.

====Macintosh System 1====
[[Macintosh System 1 | Macintosh System 1-tan]] was the only of the Mac-tans that Apple III-tan knew while they both lived at the Apple house. Apple III-tan was somewhat distant towards her, but was also willing to tutor her, since features of SOS were also incorporated into System 1. However, Apple III-tan left the Apple house in 1984.

====SAGE====
She greatly admires [[SAGE | SAGE-tan]], and first knew about her early in life. In the early 1980's, SAGE-tan was still in service, and a young Apple III-tan was amazed by her power, and sacrifices she made to try and save the world. When Apple III-tan left the Apple house, she strived to be like SAGE-tan, but was not aware of the fate that already befell her. Apple III-tan never thought that she would meet her role model, but after more than 20 years as a wanderer, she did. While excited to finally meet her, she was at the same time sad over what happened to her, and wants to help SAGE make friends.

Apple III-tan and SAGE-tan knowing each other is a reference to the Apple III hardware, and pieces of the AN/FSQ-7, the hardware SAGE used, being used in the TV show Lost.

====GENIAC====
How they met is not fully detailed or explained yet, but Apple III-tan being friends with GENIAC-tan, who is also one of SAGE-tan's friends, has been incorporated into OSC fanon. She can empathize with GENIAC-tan's abandonment and long periods of loneliness endured, and likes that GENIAC-tan is not judgmental.

==OSC Notes==
In the Annex Project, Apple III-tan is a [[Wanderer Class | wanderer]], and has been since she left the Apple House in 1984. She knew that Apple II-tan was a founder of the Vintage Federation, but avoided visiting for many years because she did not feel worthy of being seen by Apple II-tan again.

==History and background==
In her very early life, Apple III-tan was a very proud young girl who dreamed of being successful in the business market, but was also sad that she did not get to spend a lot of time with Apple I-tan. When Apple III-tan was born in 1978, Apple I-tan's health was in decline, and Apple I-tan had to spend more of her time teaching Apple II-tan. This caused Apple III-tan to get jealous of Apple II-tan, and to sometimes lash out, and she was deeply saddened over Apple I-tan's death in 1979.

After her debut in 1980, her anger problems worsened, and she was prone to overheating, and setting things on fire. She overcame her problems by 1983, in reference to the Apple III Plus fixing the original Apple III's hardware problems. She went to reintroduce herself, but she was unable to overcome her bad reputation, and later left the family in shame. She was around to teach Lisa-tan, and Macintosh System 1-tan, but was distant from them, and she left in 1984.

One day early in her life as a wanderer, Apple III-tan, along with some of her remaining followers, encountered a remote island where she built an observatory she inhabits. Even as a wanderer, she still knew what was going on with her family. She was proud of Apple II-tan and GS/OS-tan for keeping up their work ethic, but did not think very fondly of Lisa-tan or the Mac-tans for several years. She believed that the Mac-tans were pampered divas, and was especially ashamed by their lack of planning skills just before and during the OS Wars.

But when she heard of when the Mac-tans took matters into their own hands instead of waiting on a successor to do the job for them (the ill-fated Copland and Taligent), she was impressed. She read about the Mac-tans uniting their remaining forces after heavy losses, serving on the front lines to defend the last of their territory, and rebuilding their society. She has been proud of them and her whole family since then, but she feels that she can never return home because of her past behavior, and she felt ashamed that she was not there for her family during the OS Wars. She knows that she cannot just return home as if nothing happened.

Later on, in the late 2000's or early 2010's after GENIAC-tan awoke, Apple III-tan met her, and it because of their friendship that Apple III-tan became willing to visit the Vintage Federation and make the first steps towards speaking with her family again.

Apple-tans

2019-09-08T21:35:17Z

Aurora Borealis:

The Apple-tans have been usually portrayed in a family-centric setting where they all live under the same roof in a big villa-style house.

Even if the only information perceived is coming through two completely different artists and two manga serieses independent from each other there seems to be some kind of consistency between the two versions of the Mac Household.

It should be noted that these two works represent the only material available and therefore the nature of this information is purely speculative.

In both versions the House is inhabited by both [[OSX]] and [[OS9]] but there are some major differences between the two versions.
*In the original mac manga the house is decorated with futuristic and Apple-themed furniture such as big iTunes controls in the walls, Apple-shaped couches and a PowerMac which [[OS9]] uses while in the more recent ones the house is drawn as a regular japanese household but with somewhat of a western and a bit cartoonesque fashion when seen from outside.
*The only residents we get to see in the original manga are [[OSX]], [[OS9]] and another Mac-tan which could be either iPod or iTunes or just a older version of Mac OS, while the moder manga has the Apple household inhabitated by [[OSX]], [[OS9]], the OSX cats and -san (formerly Toshiaki-san).
*While in the original manga there are signs of (futuristic) technology such as the iTunes wall or simply the PowerMac the recent manga doesn't show any kind of technology in it other than the RAM banks the OSX cats insert into OS9 against her own will (which causes her breasts to expand) and [[OSX]] later steals for herself.

}}

==Technical details==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_GS%2FOS GS/OS] was released in 1988 to be a full-featured OS for the Apple IIGS, replacing the more limited ProDOS 16. The last official release of GS/OS was GS/OS System 6.0.1 in 1993, but it also had 3 unofficial releases of 6.0.2 - 6.0.4 between 2015 and 2017.

==Character details==
===General===
GS/OS-tan is represented as a tall, winged girl with curly brown hair, blue eyes and wears striped clothing with brown work boots. She has phoenix wings in reference to Phoenix being one of the Apple IIGS's codenames.

Her hair is decorated with two leaf-shaped cowlicks on the left side of her head, and sometimes she also has a rainbow apple on her head (with a "][" labeled on it) akin to the apple that Mac-tan often has on her head. She may either wear an Edo-era farmer outfit like [[Apple II | Apple II-tan's]], but with a shirt that is light blue with white pinstripes, or she wears a blue and white striped top with long red pants, green and black striped arm warmers, and an orange and white striped scarf. Her outfits all feature stripes because of the extensive use of stripes in ProDOS 16's and GS/OS's GUIs.

She has a more serious personality than Apple II-tan, but enjoys her stories. She is a musician, and plays an electric guitar. She is also talented at translation work, and can read books and files in various languages, referencing GS/OS's file system translators that translated various disk formats so they could be used.

===Family and relationships===

====Apple II====
She looks up to Apple II-tan as her mentor and one of her closest friends. GS/OS-tan works alongside her with many tasks, but often worries about disappointing her, since the Apple IIGS was not as commercially successful. Apple II-tan is good at assuring her that she is not disappointing her. Apple II-tan was patient and helped a young GS/OS-tan, then ProDOS 16-tan complete the training that she needed.
GS/OS-tan maintained her combat skills to help protect Apple II-tan from danger, because Apple II-tan chose to stop fighting.

====Mac-tans====
She had some admiration for the early Mac-tans, and the early Mac-tans had some admiration for her, but they sometimes saw each other as their competitors. The IIGS introduced features that would be added to the Macintosh line later, such as color support being added to the Macintosh in 1987 with the release of the Macintosh II.
She has friendly rivalries with Macintosh System 4-tan, System 5-tan and System 6-tan due to how GS/OS strongly resembles them.

===Abilities===
GS/OS-tan is skilled in melee combat, and is physically very strong, and can fly, but is a slow runner. She wields bladed weapons, in particular the same style of knives wielded by Rambo, in reference to Rambo being another of the IIGS's codenames. She can also use fire-based magic.

===History and background===
GS/OS-tan was also ProDOS 16-tan, and debuted in 1986 along with the release of the IIGS. She was always a talented musician owing to the advanced sound capabilities of the IIGS, and often worked alongside Apple II-tan, but as ProDOS 16-tan, she was inefficient at it, and required a lot of training, and a lot of assistance from Apple II-tan with most tasks. Her training was incomplete because she needed to debut along with the IIGS. [https://apple2history.org/history/ah15/#09 The first version of ProDOS 16 was slow and inefficient] because it translated all software calls into ProDOS 8 calls, and was not fully written with 16-bit code.

By September 1987, she was more self-sufficient, corresponding to first GS System Software version to use the IIGS Finder. In September 1988, she became GS/OS-tan.

She left the Mac House along with Apple II-tan and [[Apple Lisa | Lisa-tan]] in 1993, and were wanderers until they helped co-found the Vintage Federation. While she was living with Apple II-tan and Lisa-tan as wanderers, [[Amiga | Amiga-tan]] often visited them. GS/OS-tan distrusted Amiga-tan since Amiga-tan was one of her competitors, and she did not understand why Apple II-tan wanted to cooperate with her. It took some convincing by her and Apple II-tan that Amiga-tan wanted to cooperate with them about how Apple II-tan's orchards that she still owned could be the future site of a new faction to help displaced OS-tans in need. This led to the founding of the Vintage Federation, circa 1997.

|lastrel= System Software 5.1 (System 4.3 + Finder 6.0)
}}

==Technical Details==
Macintosh System 5 does not exist, because the System version skipped from System 4.3 to 6.0, so that the version numbers in System Software 6 and onwards would be closely matched up.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS#System_Software_5 System Software 5 (System 4.2 or 4.3, Finder 6.0)] introduced Multifinder; an alternate Finder that allows for co-operative multitasking, and introduced the Color menu, a precursor to the Labels feature in System 7 that adds color outlines to icons that are otherwise in black and white.

==Character details==
===General===
This character mainly represents System 5, but may also represent System Software 5 as well.

This more common appearance as System 5-tan is a phantom, usually invisible to those outside the Mac family, her existence is believed to only be an urban legend by outsiders. She can be seen by the Classic Mac-tans, plus A/UX-tan and the early OSX-tans due to their compatibility with the Classic Mac. It is unclear if the later OSX-tans (OSX Leopard and later) can see her, or if she can choose to make herself seen to outsiders she trusts enough.

She has dark purple hair in a ponytail, topped with a leaf-shaped cowlick, carries a magic wand, wears long opera-style gloves, boots, a dark cape, a frilly dress. Her right eye is pink, and her left eye is silver. Her dresses are Victorian-esque, multi-layered, are mainly white or grey with hints of color. She is also much taller than her older sisters, since System 4.2 is much larger in size than its predecessors. The magic wand she carries is in the style of a traditional magician's wand, and she needs to wield it to cast spells that allow her to multitask, referencing MultiFinder being a separate program.

She is a talented magician, fortune-teller, organ player and prankster who especially likes pranking outsiders. Personality-wise, she is friendly, playful and loves to joke around, but feels lonely when others visit because they cannot see her.

===Family and relationships===
She gets along best with System 4-tan, A/UX-tan, System 6-tan, and OSX Cheetah-tan, because of their trickster tendencies, or because they can easily appreciate her sense of humor.

==Technical details==
[https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/System_3.4 Macintosh System 3.4 was released as part of AppleShare 2.0.1 Work Station to add this support to System 3, [https://web.archive.org/web/20080224190220/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=5356 and to the Macintosh 512Ke], and uses Finder 6.1, the same Finder version used with System 6.

==Character details==
Macintosh System 3.4-tan is represented as a tall and eccentric woman, appearing to be in her early twenties, with long dark brown hair tied into forked pigtails. Her hair is decorated with red ribbons, three gold hairclips on one side and a 3.4 hairclip on the other. She wears a pair of large mask-like sunglasses, a grey frilly blouse, light blue skirt, yellow leggings and red ballet flats. She carries a parachute backpack in the style of a compact Mac.

She is very bold, daring, and very outgoing, She has great networking skills, but is also stubborn and single-minded, owing to very specific role that System 3.4 was created for.

Her eccentric personality, appearance, and role are because of System 3.4's highly unusual version numbering and release date compared to other Mac OS versions.

System 3-tan was System 3.4-tan's mentor, and helped her with using her powers, and how to use them for networking and sharing information. She was very sad when System 3.4-tan left home.

====System 6-tan====
System 3.4-tan and System 6-tan are twin sisters, owing to having the same Finder version number and almost the same release date. They have always gotten along, because they never competed over who would lead the Mac House during the time they were both current.

====System 7-tan====
She did not feel threatened by System 7-tan when she debuted, because AppleShare 2.0.1 was still the current version in 1991. A version of System 7 was used for AppleShare 3, which was released in 1992. System 3.4-tan disliked her over this, but let go of this resentment after finding her new lease on life.

====System 7.5-tan====
She might be friends with System 7.5-tan, since interpretations portray her as being eccentric, due to System 7.5's history.

====Others====
She tends to be friends with other OS-tans who are eccentric, obscure, or were misfits within their original families. She is friends with Commodore 65-tan, Windows 3.2-tan and DEC Rainbow 100-tan. She may also be friends with A/UX-tan, Windows 97-tan, and EvilEntity Linux-tan.

===Abilities===
She is physically very weak, and not suited to melee combat, but has strong psychic abilities, and can read minds. Her physical weakness is a trade-off for having stronger psychic abilities and a more specialized, limited-release OS.

==OSC Notes==
In the Annex Project continuity, she was a member of the [[House of Mac]], but left in 1992, and has been a [[Wanderer Class | wanderer]] since then. Most of her friends are also wanderers.

===History and background===
System 3.4-tan was never meant to lead the Mac House, but was entrusted to continue the specialized role as a file sharing server OS that System 3-tan created, and to use her powers for this purpose. It was an important role that she took pride in, by operating the communication infrastructure, and using her telepathic abilities to quickly share information with the other Mac-tans. Being a more specialized OS, she was optimized for this role, but was also less capable of coping with being obsolete when it happened.

In 1992, System 7-tan was assigned to take over this role, and System 3.4-tan ran away from home because she could not handle being obsolete.
As an obsolete proprietary OS, she was at a disadvantage as a wanderer. She had several near-death experiences in her early years, and was barely surviving, but donated a lot of her money and supplies she earned to the rest of the Mac-tans to try and aid them. She felt remorseful over not fighting alongside her sisters during the OS Wars. She chose to become a stunt performer because she no longer feared death, and believed she had nothing to lose.

One of the first friends she made as a wanderer was Commodore 65-tan, who had recently been exiled from her own home faction, and was left as an abandoned prototype. They met Windows 3.2-tan later during the OS Wars, and befriended her when she was to prove that she did not have anything to do with the OS Wars. They banded together over their shared backgrounds of being wanderers, obscure, or the odd ones out among their families.

Shortly after the Vintage Federation was founded, in 1997 or 1998, its members were seeking other struggling wanderers. She refused their recruitment efforts to not abandon the friends and livelihood she gained, and because she thought the Vintage Federation pitied her, and she did not want their pity.

She and her friends found success, and defied the odds against them through a lot of luck and hard work, and she found a new use for her networking skills by organizing and hosting events to show off the talents of other wanderers.

==Other Notes==
Her previous characterization of feeling overshadowed and not believing she had a purpose in life before becoming a wanderer was based off of very limited information her creator had. From further research, a new characterization was retconned in portraying her as being successful in her early years and taking pride in her specialized role, since AppleShare 2.0 was well-received, but believing she lost her purpose in life when she became obsolete, and became a wanderer to keep having a purpose.

|lastrel=v4.1 (2 Mar 1987) or 4.3 (Nov 1987)
}}

==Technical details==
Macintosh System 4 was released in January 1987. This was the first Mac OS version to exclude a Mac model, by dropping support for the original Macintosh (128K), though [https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/System_4.0 upgraded 128Ks could still be supported] by 4.0. System 4.1 was released alongside the Macintosh II and Macintosh SE, and dropped support for the 128K and 512K. System 4.1 was the first version to support color, and was released along with the Macintosh II.

System 4.2 introduced Multifinder, which allows cooperative multitasking, and the Color feature to add color outlines to icons.

==Character details==
===General description===
System 4-tan is represented as a girl with glasses and short black hair. Her appearance a 4-theme to it, having 4 cowlicks in her hair, wearing a shirt with a 4 printed on it, a jacket with 4 buttons on it, and her height is 4 feet, 4 inches.

She wears a green shirt with an orange belt, red skirt, white boots and black leggings. She also wears a grey jacket, and some accessories that are in black and white, and she has black hair and silver eyes as a reflection of how System 4.1 and 4.2 can support color, but the interface such as the menus and icons are all in black and white.

She is friendly, cheerful and carefree, but rather fussy at times. She is usually rather quiet and unassuming, hides feelings of envy, and an inferiority complex because she may not be able to multitask (and cannot if she only represents System 4.0 and 4.1), and does not believe that she innovated very much compared to her predecessor or her successor. Despite this, she is usually able to keep a positive attitude and happily interact with her sisters, and she takes pride in the hardware innovations she helped introduce.

===Family and relationships===
System 4-tan has always admired [[Apple II | Apple II-tan]] and [[GS/OS | GS/OS-tan]], and wanted to be as innovative and adventurous as they were, owing to how the Macintosh II was inspired by the Apple II line, and was the first Mac to support color. System 4-tan did not care for the closed off architecture of the original Mac and its official lack of expandability.

This caused her to clash with [[Macintosh System 1 | System 1-tan]], [[Macintosh System 2 | System 2-tan,]] and [[Macintosh System 3 | System 3-tan]] at first. They could accept Apple II-tan and GS/OS-tan having more open viewpoints about hardware, but they believed that Mac-tans are supposed to only support closed-off hardware. She also clashed with System 1-tan due to being a big eater, which System 1-tan considered inefficient, but has gotten less strict about these over the years. She gets along with them now, but it took some time.

She gets along best with the quieter Mac-tans such as System 2-tan, [[Macintosh System 5 | System 5-tan]], [[Macintosh System 7 | System 7-tan]], and [[Mac OSX Puma | OSX Puma-tan]].

Like with most of the early Mac-tans, she has been retired or semi-retired for years.

===Other notes===
System 4-tan mainly represents Systems 4.0 and 4.1 (System Software 2, Finder 5), but may also represent System 4.2 and 4.3 (System Software 5, Finder 6.0). When System 4-tan is interpreted as only representing 4.0 and 4.1, System 5-tan will represent System 4.2 and 4.3 along with the non-existent System 5.

|reldate= Early 1988
|lastrel= Early 1988
}}

==Technical details==
[https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/System_3.4 Macintosh System 3.4 was released as part of AppleShare 2.0.1 Work Station to add this support to System 3, [https://web.archive.org/web/20080224190220/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=5356 and to the Macintosh 512Ke], and uses Finder 6.1, the same Finder version used with System 6.

==Character details==
Macintosh System 3.4-tan is represented as a tall and eccentric woman, appearing to be in her early twenties, with long dark brown hair tied into forked pigtails. Her hair is decorated with red ribbons, three gold hairclips on one side and a 3.4 hairclip on the other. She wears a pair of large mask-like sunglasses, a grey frilly blouse, light blue skirt, yellow leggings and red ballet flats. She carries a parachute backpack in the style of a compact Mac.

She is very bold, daring, and very outgoing, She has great networking skills, but is also stubborn and single-minded, owing to very specific role that System 3.4 was created for.

Her eccentric personality, appearance, and role are because of System 3.4's highly unusual version numbering and release date compared to other Mac OS versions.

==OSC Notes==
Unlike most the other Mac-tans who all live together in the [[House of Mac]] faction, Macintosh System 3.4-tan chose to live a [[Wanderer Class | wanderer]] by choice to improve her skills and follow her dreams after becoming obsolete. Her early years as a wanderer were very difficult, especially during the OS Wars. She had several near-death experiences and barely survived, but sent some of her money and supplies she earned to the rest of the family to try to aid them, since she had some remorse over not fighting alongside them. Through a lot of luck and hard work, she defied the odds against her as a wanderer and became successful. She chose to become a stunt performer because death no longer scared her, and she later became a carnival ringmaster, to put her networking skills to use again and to help other obscure or forgotten wanderer OS-tans show off their skills.

==Other Notes==
Her previous characterization of feeling overshadowed and not believing she had a purpose in life before becoming a wanderer was based off of very limited information her creator had. From further research, a new characterization was retconned in portraying her as being successful in her early years and taking pride in her specialized role, since AppleShare 2.0 was well-received, but believing she lost her purpose in life when she became obsolete, and became a wanderer to keep having a purpose.

|osdev=Apple Inc.
|reldate=January 16 1986
|lastrel=v3.3 (January 1987)
}}

==Technical details==
[https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/System_3.0 Macintosh System 3] was released along with the Mac Plus on 16 Jan, 1986 and introduced several new technologies to the Mac OS- SCSI, ADB support, Hypercard and complete support for the Hierarchical File System. System 3.0 was well-regarded, but System 3.1 was infamous for its bugginess that System 3.2 was quickly released to fix them.

System 3.3 was released the same time as System 4, and has the same Finder version (5.4), but [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS#System_1,_2,_3,_and_4 System 3.3 was released as part of AppleShare 1.0]. System 3.4 was released as part of AppleShare 2.0 in early 1988, and uses Finder 6.1.

==Character details==
===General description===
<nowiki>*</nowiki>''note: This character mainly represents System 3.0-3.3. There is a separate character representing System 3.4.''

Macintosh System 3-tan is represented as a girl with long black hair with multicolored streaks, and wears a colorful outfit consisting of a green hat, yellow scarf, an orange checkered dress with white sleeves, long socks with red and purple stripes, with sapphire slippers. She has a very cheerful, friendly and outgoing personality, and is a great networker.

Her favorite activities are shopping and making simple electronic gadgets. She is more efficient at work than her predecessors, but she is klutzy, has a huge fear of bugs, and is one of the least stable Mac-tans, referencing System 3.1's buggyness. Her stability improved after her faulty upgrade was fixed, but she is still worried about messing up, and is not always confident showing off her abilities.

===Family and relationships===
She gets along very well with Mac OS9-kun, but is overprotective of him because he is not much of a fighter. She is generally diplomatic towards the Windows-tans, and can get along with some of the more diplomatic ones when their families have meetings. However, she has a rivalry with fellow klutz [[Windows ME | ME-tan]]. Ironically, System 3-tan and ME-tan have a lot in common and could be good friends.

Of her relatives, she gets along best with [[Macintosh System 3.4 | System 3.4-tan]], [[Macintosh System 4 | System 4-tan]], [[Mac OS 8 | Mac OS 8-tan]], [[Mac OS 9| Mac OS 9-tan]], and [[OSX Tiger | Mac OSX Tiger-tan]].

====System 2====
She and System 2-tan get along now, but System 2-tan used to dislike her, since she was jealous over System 3-tan's innovations, and felt overshadowed by her. System 2-tan thought she did not contribute enough compared to System 3-tan, but has been willing to get along with her by the time of System 4-tan's debut.

====System 3.4====
System 3.4-tan has more powerful abilities than her, and was meant to continue the specialized networking role that System 3-tan created. She was happy to help System 3.4-tan learn how to harness her powers and to continue the role, and served as her mentor.

====System 4====
She and System 4-tan also get along now, but they did not at first due to ideological disagreements, and System 4-tan worrying about whether she would be good enough to follow up on System 3-tan's success. Their disagreements are a reference to System 4 being the earliest Mac OS version to be supported by the Macintosh II, which had an open and expandable architecture compared to the compact Macs that System 3 was limited to running.

===Abilities===
System 3-tan is a competent melee fighter with improvised weaponry, and is physically stronger than she looks. She also acquired psychic abilities, and is capable of telepathy and telekinesis. Her telepathic abilities are a reference to AppleShare 1.0, and System 3.3's inclusion with it, as a specialized release as a networking and file server OS. She uses telepathy to quickly share information.

==Other Notes==
Her love of bright colors, and wearing such a colorful outfit originated due to an error on her creator's behalf after reading a source stating that System 3.0 was the first Mac OS version to support color. Other sources confirmed that System 4 was the earliest Mac OS for the Macintosh II, and therefore the first version to support color. Despite originating from an error, her character design was still kept, to set herself apart from her less-daring predecessors.

==Technical details==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Mac_OS#System_1,_2,_3,_and_4 Macintosh System 2] was released in April 1985, and introduced support for Apple's early networking protocol, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleTalk AppleTalk], and support for LaserWriter. System 2.0, like System 1, uses a flat file system, but System 2.1 has partial support for the Hierarchical File System.

System 2.0 introduced the [https://www.businessinsider.com/mac-os-i-through-x-2012-7#mac-os-system-20-1985-2 Shut Down command, which was safer than turning off the power switch on the computer, and the New Folder command]. It cannot multitask, but a feature called Minifinder was introduced to make switching from one program to another faster.

==Character details==
===General description===
Macintosh System 2-tan looks a lot like System 1-tan but has two straight side ponytails on her right side, and wears a grey dress with a pleated skirt, and wears a sash over her dress. She carries a Newspeak-to-Oldspeak dictionary with her, and brings puppets with her when presenting her lectures on literature and why old technology is better. The puppets serve to keep to keep her family's attention.

Despite thinking that old technology is better, she introduced some innovations. She is observant, witty, and intelligent; also more calm and stable than System 1-tan, but is uptight and does not tolerate getting ignored. Like System 4-tan, she has an inferiority complex, but usually does not handle it constructively, and is prone to verbal aggression when ignored for too long.

She gets along best with [[Apple II | Apple II-tan]], [[Macintosh System 1 | Macintosh System 1-tan]], [[Macintosh System 4 | Macintosh System 4-tan]], [[OSX Panther | Mac OSX Panther-tan]] and [[OSX Leopard | Mac OSX Leopard-tan]].

===Family and relationships===
Like most of the early Mac-tans, System 2-tan has also been retired or semi-retired for years, but maintained a supporting role. She gets along well with most of her family, but is frustrated over being frequently misunderstood or ignored when she gives advice, and is frustrated by family conflicts that emerge, and tries to avoid getting caught in them. She has an inferiority complex from feeling overshadowed by System 1-tan for being the first of the Classic Mac-tans, and [[Macintosh System 3 | System 3-tan]] for making more innovations she did. She did not immediately get along with System 3-tan since she was jealous over System 3-tan's achievements, and felt like her own were not enough during the short time she was the current Mac OS version.

This also reflects how Macintosh System 2 is one of the least used Mac OSes, was current for less than a year, and was supported only on the first two Macintosh models (the 128k and 512k) which could easily upgraded to System 3. These same two Macs also support System 1 which may actually be used less than System 2 but has a legacy for being the first, and the history behind it.

===Abilities===
She is a fast runner owing to System 2's significant speed boost compared to System 1, and contributed to the Mac House (then Apple Family)'s desktop publishing legacy. She is frail and not suited for combat, but she is resourceful and can quickly retrieve information to help her sisters. She has become a decent tactician, and became a medic in case of a virus-tan attack.

==Technical details==

The Macintosh project was started in late 1979 and was originally intended to be a low cost home computer, but instead took after the Lisa, Apple's first computer with a GUI, which was in turn modeled after (with permission) Xerox's Star computer and [[PilotOS]]. Both the Lisa and the Mac were made for businesses, but the Mac initially sold for 1/4 the cost of the Lisa, and was the first commercially-successful OS with a GUI.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_1 Macintosh System 1] is the first Mac OS version, released along with the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984, and also shipped with the Macintosh 512K which was released later in 1984. System 1 cannot multitask due to the limited amount of RAM, but is able to run Desk Accessories, small programs that can run while an application is running.

Macintosh System 1-tan is represented as a small girl who likes 1980's fashion, commonly dressed in a minidress with bike shorts, leg warmers, a headband, and wears her hair in a wavy side ponytail. Her outfits are in black, white and grey since the original Macintosh was 1-bit monochrome, but her outfits also decorated with colorful accessories, which references the colorful, abstract box art of the earliest Macs. She wears a necklace with the Happy Mac icon on it.

She is energetic, charismatic, and is always trying to be helpful, but is also scatterbrained and has a one-track mind. She struggles with some tasks, but is resourceful, and willing to push herself to her limits to get them done. She is cheerful, but had lived in fear a lot in the past, and is more easygoing and laid-back now.

Her weapon of choice is a large hammer, which she wields a reference to the 1984 Macintosh commercial. She can wield error bombs, but prefers to wield her hammer. Despite being friendly and straightforward, a lot of people found her to be intimidating, for being too straightfoward and simple. She mainly speaks in Newspeak as another 1984 reference, but it is also to conserve her memory.

She likes writing and graphic design, owing to the original Macintosh's role in desktop publishing, though she likes working with pictures more, referencing the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_1#Desk_accessories deliberate lack of text used in the Control Panel of System 1].

===Family and relationships===
====The Mac-tans====
She is mostly retired, and has been for years, but wants to help out in any way she can, and to continue to be a role model. She has not been able to keep up with the later generations of Mac-tans very much, but they can still appreciate her efforts in trying to help.

====Apple II-tan====
System 1-tan and Apple II-tan have very different views from each other, but they have always gotten along, and System 1-tan has always admired her as the nicest of her older sisters. She was sad when Apple II-tan left home in 1993, but has visited her more.

====Apple III-tan====
Apple III-tan was rather distant from everyone but Apple II-tan, but System 1-tan wants to meet her again, and is worried that her own success was one of the reasons that Apple III-tan left.

====Lisa-tan====
System 1-tan did not intend to compete against Lisa-tan, since [http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Desk_Ornaments.txt&sortOrder=Sort+by+Date&topic=Software+Design System 1 and the Macintosh did not have all of the Lisa's more advanced capabilities, such as multitasking], but Lisa-tan frequently tormented her in their early years. She saw System 1-tan as another competitor within the family who could usurp her and siphon her followers away for being more approachable.

System 1-tan disliked her for several years, and waited for the day of her debut to upstage Lisa-tan and to get her independence. Lisa-tan remained unsupportive, jealous of System 1-tan's success in founding her own faction, but she started to feel sorry for Lisa-tan when she lost most of her followers, and suddenly stopped talking in 1989, and then when she left home in 1993. Years later, System 1-tan was willing to forgive her after seeing how Lisa-tan's time away from home.

====Windows-tans====
She and the other early Mac-tans have always gotten along fine with Windows 1.0-tan, owing to 1.0 being the current Windows version when Microsoft started writing software for the Macintosh.

In meetings between the Mac and Windows families, if she's at the Mac House, she tries to be civil, but may act out aggressively in perceived self-defense although she is trying to move on from the past after seeing some of the other Windows-tans and Mac-tans get along.

====DOS-tans====
Of her contemporaries, her main rivals were MS-DOS-tan and PC-DOS-tan, as they had the largest market share and were direct competitors to the Macintosh. She largely ignored the other home computer-tans, such as the Atari and Commodore-tans, since the Macintosh was well above the typical home computer price range.

She had long-lasting rivalries with most of the DOS-tans, especially [[PC-DOS | PC-DOS-tan]] and [[MS-DOS | MS-DOS-tan]]. She and PC-DOS-tan still have a rivalry although it is toned down from what it used to be; System 1-tan likes to poke fun at PC-DOS-tan for being so uptight. Their rivalries, are still reasonably civil, just like in the pre-OS Wars days. She is friends with [[QDOS | QDOS-tan]] because she was never a competitor, and she sympathized with QDOS-tan's abandonment.

===Legacy===
She is considered a revolutionary, popularizing the GUI, and later founded the House of Mac, but at her older sister Lisa-tan's expense for diverting away a lot of her followers, and at GEM-tan's expense during an era when a GUI with icons and overlapping windows were not commonplace.

==History and background==
===Early life (before debut)===
In her early life before her public debut in 1984, Macintosh System 1-tan lived with her older sisters[[Apple II | Apple ][-tan]], [[Apple III | Apple III-tan]] and [[Apple Lisa | Lisa-tan]]. She did not get to meet Apple I-tan, because she was born after Apple I-tan died, and she was often lonely. Lisa-tan resented System 1-tan's existence knowing that she would eventually become her competitor, and often tormented her by treating her as a servant.

Apple II-tan was very kind to the young System 1-tan, but was often away from home since she was the income earner. Apple III-tan taught System 1-tan a few things, but was indifferent, and often reclusive.

===Her debut, through the 1980's===
She was later given another chance to go out in the world to succeed where Lisa-tan failed. Aside from being faster, she was less advanced that Lisa-tan in most ways, but her approachability and charisma helped her gain the following she needed. She was successful enough to start her own faction, which is still around. She taught System 2-tan and the other early Mac-tans and remained influential for many years.

Despite the prosperity of the Apple family in the 1980's, she quickly had feelings of uncertainty about her, and her descendants' futures because of the increasing number of competitors with GUIs. This references how the future of the Macintosh was already uncertain due to declining sales in 1985. She was afraid that her success was short-lived, and feared her fledgling family dying out, or being forgotten. Apple II-tan kept the family financially afloat for a few years.

One competitor in particular got her attention-- GEM-tan, whose similarities to the Macs was so uncanny that System 1-tan took action against her aggressively, because she seemed to be a threat.

===1990's and later===
The OS Wars of the 1990's were those fears coming true as the Windows forces led by 95-tan conquered most of the Mac-tans' territory, and the Mac-tans struggled to keep their company together and defend the last of their territory. System 1-tan was traumatized during this time and not able to do much. She was in fear and despair, wondering where she and the faction went wrong, and felt completely helpless.

After the OS Wars subsided, she cheered up a lot and started to overcome her habit of living in fear. She was eventually able to reconcile with some of her former rivals, such as Lisa-tan and GEM-tan.

==Technical details==

The Macintosh project was started in late 1979 and was originally intended to be a low cost home computer, but instead took after the Lisa, Apple's first computer with a GUI, which was in turn modeled after (with permission) Xerox's Star computer and [[PilotOS]]. Both the Lisa and the Mac were made for businesses, but the Mac initially sold for 1/4 the cost of the Lisa, and was the first commercially-successful OS with a GUI.

===Early life (before debut)===
In her early life before her public debut in 1984, Macintosh System 1-tan lived with her older sisters [[Apple II | Apple ][-tan]], [[Apple III | Apple III-tan]] and [[Apple Lisa | Lisa-tan]] primarily as their servant, which Lisa-tan forced upon her before being given another chance. Apple ][-tan was very kind to the young System 1-tan; Apple III-tan was indifferent, but still taught her some things, and Lisa-tan was harsh; often giving her lots of chores and sometimes even being abusive. Her childhood before her release was very lonely, as Apple II-tan was so busy with work, and Apple III-tan was reclusive.

===Her debut, and after===
She was later given another chance to go out in the world to succeed where Lisa-tan failed. She was technologically inferior to Lisa-tan in most aspects (except for speed), but was successful enough to later start her own family and faction, which is still around to this day. Despite the prosperity of the Apple family in the 1980's, their success was largely still due to Apple II-tan. System 1-tan was plagued with feelings of uncertainty about her future as well as that of her descendants because of the increasing number of competitors with GUIs, and was afraid of her fledgling family dying out, or being forgotten. One competitor in particular got her attention-- GEM-tan, whose similarities to the Macs was so uncanny that System 1-tan took action against her aggressively.

The OS Wars of the 1990's turned out to be a physical manifestation of those fears as the Windows forces led by 95-tan conquered most of the Mac-tans' territory, and the Mac-tans struggled to keep their company together and defend the last of their territory. System 1-tan was traumatized during this time and not able to do much despite her great leadership skills. She was in fear and despair, wondering where she went wrong with raising her family (despite that it wasn't her fault at all) and felt completely helpless. But after the OS Wars subsided, she cheered up a lot and started to overcome her habit of living in fear. Now she no longer lives in fear, has even in recent years reconciled with GEM-tan. The two of them are even friends now.

==Technical details==
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_128 Commodore 128], or C128 was released in 1985, as the significantly expanded successor to the C64. The C128 is the last 8-bit home computer model that was commercially released by Commodore since their last 8-bit home computer, the Commodore 65, was canceled.

The C128 also had a Z80 CPU to run CP/M prograns, and was intended as a business machine. Due to the C64's continued popularity, the C128 has almost full backwards compatibility with it, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_128#C64_mode through the built-in C64 mode].

==Character details==
C128-tan is represented as a kind and mature woman with long lilac hair and light green eyes. She wears a white dress shirt, black skirt, dark leggings, flat shoes, and a grey and white hat with the Commodore insignia on it. Her shirt, skirt and hat are parts of her old Commodore Fleet uniform. In her full uniform, she wore boots instead of flat shoes, and wore a grey naval captain coat with black and navy blue trim, and wore a tie with it.

Despite being one of the youngest of the old family fleet, is often confused as the eldest due to her appearance and calm disposition. She is less competitive than the other Commodore-tans, and tried to avoid sibling rivalries, which may reflect how the [https://web.archive.org/web/20141129021635/http://www.kirps.com/web/main/_blog/all/in-memory-of-the-commodore-c128.shtml C128 was not meant to undercut the sales of the C64 or Amiga].

==OSC Notes==
===History and background===
When she was in service of the [[Commodore Family | Commodore Fleet]], she was firm and professional, but was also mature and motherly, and the only one out of the old guard that treated the young cadet Amiga-tan with any welcoming spirit.

In the early days of their training, the cadet Amiga-tan and C128-tan both garnered their respective and secret fanclubs among the Commodore deck crew. While Amiga-tan's natural charm, friendliness and gaming prowess would've garnered the larger secret fanbase, C128-tan's sweet, gentle and mature air would have earned her points among a loyal and entrenched secret fanbase. They never found out about their secret fanbases in their time at the Commodore Fleet.

Since she was geared for the business market, her main competitors were MS-DOS-tan, PC-DOS-tan, and the PC Compatibles.

In 1989 when C65-tan was born, C128-tan was the only member of the fleet who was entrusted to know of her. She was C65-tan's caregiver, teacher, and mother figure until C65-tan's exile was ordered by executives in 1991. C128-tan hoped to give the young C65-tan a surprise party while simultaneously presenting the joyous news to her other sisters to introduce her to them. But after the horrible news of C65-tan's banishment, she chose not to tell anyone about it. With the company already in its last throes, she could not afford to drop morale even further. After the company's bankruptcy and disbanding of the fleet in 1994, she roamed the world as a Wanderer, and made it her life's work to find the long-lost C65-tan.

Around 2010, she found C65-tan, and wanted to introduce her to the rest of the Commodore-tans in one of the first reunions they had since the fleet disbanded. Conflicts broke out between C65-tan against the other Commodore-tans, who fought her before while they were wanderers, because they thought she was a bootleg OS-tan. C128-tan had to resolve the misunderstandings between them, but was able to properly introduce C65-tan to the rest of the family.

==Technical details==
QNX (now known as QNX Neutrino) is a full-featured, minimalist real-time OS that is widely used in embedded systems. It is highly stable, and is used in automobiles, industrial applications, medical electronics, and nuclear power plants.

QNX Software Systems was bought by Harmon Kardon in 2004, and QNX became freeware with source code available in 2007, but it became restricted again when QNX Software Systems was bought by BlackBerry (formerly Research in Motion) in 2010. BlackBerry has used QNX as the basis of its OSes for the BlackBerry PlayBook, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_10 their line of smartphones] that were released between January 2013 and April 2015.

==Character details==
===General===
QNX-tan is represented as cyan-haired woman who dresses in semi-formal attire. She wears buttoned shirts with a lab coat and tie, and the tie always has an even number of tie clips on them, since she prefers to count only in even numbers. Her tendency for everything to be even and symmetric references the numbering scheme of QNX, which is now at version 7, but remained at version 6 for several years, and skipped versions 3 and 5. In her hair, she wears a hair clip on each side, one "QNX"-shaped, the other in the shape of the Neutrino logo.

She is very level-headed, difficult to faze, values minimalism and efficiency, and does not tolerate error from years of experience running mission-critical jobs. She is a mechanic, and likes working with cars, owing the QNX's widespread use as an embedded OS in car systems.

Among her fields of experience are mechanical work, nuclear physics, medicine, and medical technology. Her professional attitude even extends into her daily life out of force-of-habit; she is emotionally distant and somewhat reclusive because of all the responsibilities she has. When she interacts with others, she is polite and agreeable, but often does not talk with others for long; as a real-time OS-tan, she will drop the conversation when another job needs her attention.

Contrasting with her expertise in various fields of science and engineering, she is terrible at domestic tasks, and her attempts at cooking often turn into dangerous "science experiments".

QNX-tan is one of the most powerful OS-tans alive, since QNX is the most powerful and widely-used embedded OS. That gives her a tremendous hardware base to draw power from, which includes the nuclear power plants powered by QNX, but she is reluctant to use that power and willingly squanders it since she already has several responsibilities, and is afraid of getting corrupted by it.

Her weapon of choice is a photon cannon that she built herself.

===Family and relationships===

====Unix Family====
She is overall ambivalent towards the Unix Family, and has had a love-hate attitude towards them ever since her early life. From the beginning she admired Unix's philosophies and strived to be just like her. As she learned more about Unix as a person and her family, she grew disillusioned, noticing that Unix strayed far from her ideals, the hypocrisy of her daughters, and their in-fighting. The Unix Wars further disillusioned her.

During the Unix Wars, she was drafted to fight and serve as a medic, but was mistreated and discriminated against by the full-blooded Unices who considered her inferior for being 'just' a Unix-like and not a full-blooded Unix OS-tan. For years, she had grown to despise most of them except for [[User Space Gang | their defectors]]. Allegedly, she intentionally neglected [[Solaris | Solaris-tan's]] very sickly younger sister [[Spring OS | Spring OS-tan]], whom Solaris trusted her with, and left her to die.

Years have passed, and she doesn't hate them anymore. Some of them might now respect her for the power and influence she gained after the wars, though they might not admit it outright because of their strict family structure that privileges Unix OSes that meet the Single Unix Specification.

====[[Antisoft Coalition|Anti$oft Coalition]]====
She is a part-time member of the Anti$oft Coalition. She does not personally have a vendetta against the Windows-tans, but joined because she became friends with OS/2-tan and RISC OS-tan back when they were founding the faction, combined with her sympathy for fellow underdogs, and continues to be supportive of them despite their continuing bad track record as a group. She is willing to join in their tactics, because she feels it is one the only times she can drop her professionalism.

TRS-DOS-tan is slightly antagonistic of her, annoyed that QNX-tan keeps showing off new pieces of technology.

====BlackBerry-tan====
BlackBerry-tan became QNX-tan's boss in 2010 and urged her to enter the mobile market. QNX-tan shows some discontent towards her, since her venture into the mobile market under BlackBerry's orders went poorly. However, she is grateful that Blackberry-tan still grants her some autonomy, referencing the QNX communities that were allowed to continue since then.

====Others====
After a short stint with an open source model (though there were restrictions on commercial uses), she left open sorcery to be completely proprietary again, some of the open source OS-tans see her as a traitor.

==OSC Notes==
In the Annex Project continuity, QNX-tan joined the Anti$oft Coalition. Unlike its founder, OS/2-tan, she does not personally dislike the Windows-tans, although she dislikes the practices the Windows Family employed in the 90's. She was frustrated over being phased out of the education market, but she was more severely affected by her time having to serve in the Unix Wars, which happened afterwards.

===History and background===

====Early years====
QNX-tan was idealistic at first. She quickly gained a positive reputation for her stability and reliability. In 1984, she had her first major assignment in the Canadian education market as the OS for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisys_ICON Unisys ICON], which she served for several years, though she would face competition against MS-DOS-tan, Apple II-tan, and the Mac-tans. Through the late 1980's and early 1990's, her idealism faded as she was phased out of the market as later ICON machines would run MS-DOS or Windows, and because of the Unix Wars.

She was drafted into the [[Timeline_of_The_Unix_Wars#1980s: | Unix Wars]] as a medic in 1988, because she was phased out of her original market and no longer had that job to exempt her from being drafted.

====Unix Wars====
As a medic, she had an important role, but it was uncertain if she was recruited to any particular side in the war. However, most of the Unix-tans, more so the higher-ranked in the hierarchy, looked down on her for being a Unix-like and not a full-blooded Unix OS. She resented them for it, but took her duties seriously.

She was unable to save Xenix-tan's life, but did not know at the time that Xenix-tan's death was the result of sabotage. If she knew, this would have furthered her dislike for the Unix Family.

She was assigned to look after Solaris-tan's sickly younger sister SpringOS-tan, but was still not trusted. When SpringOS-tan died from her illness, QNX-tan was falsely accused by Solaris-tan and many others in the Unix Family of killing SpringOS-tan through withholding medical care.

====After the Unix Wars====

After the Unix Wars, she felt jaded and hopeless, had no job, and had to start over. Her talents for efficiency were recognized by the late 1990's, owing to the [http://web.archive.org/web/20011106140711/http://www.qnx.com/demodisk/how.html success of the QNX 4 demo disk], which fit a full-featured version of QNX on a 1.44 MB floppy disk, when it was thought to be impossible.

She found success in the embedded OS market, and operating industrial machinery, medical devices, automobiles. She later also became a nuclear physicist, and operated power plants. Despite her newly-found success, she joined the Anti$oft Coalition after one of their recruitment drives. She saw that OS/2-tan and RISC OS-tan had a great amount of talent that they were not able to fulfill, but her own frustration over being unable to return to the desktop market may have also influenced her decision.

In 2010, corresponding with BlackBerry buying out QNX, Blackberry-tan became her boss. QNX-tan gave up on open sorcery to be a fully-commercial OS again, but still acknowledges her hobbyist followers.

Entering the mobile market, she and Blackberry-tan were competing against Windows Mobile, iOS and Android. Their ventures have not been very successful, but have been competing throughout the 2010's. However, with support for the BlackBerry 10 phones being dropped after 2019, and BlackBerry phones released after 2015 running Android OS, she does not expect to be able to compete in the mobile market for much longer.

In her spare time, when Blackberry-tan does not need her, QNX-tan continues her various engineering work. QNX continues to be widely used in automobiles, so she is confident that she will still have a role she can fulfill.

QNX-tan is one of the most powerful OS-tans alive, since QNX is the most powerful and widely-used embedded OS. That gives her a tremendous hardware base to draw power from, which includes the nuclear power plants powered by QNX, but she is reluctant to use that power and willingly squanders it since she already has several responsibilities, and is afraid of getting corrupted by it.

Her weapon of choice is a photon cannon that she built herself.

===Family and relationships===

====Unix Family====
She is overall ambivalent towards the Unix Family, and has had a love-hate attitude towards them ever since her early life. From the beginning she admired Unix's philosophies and strived to be just like her. As she learned more about Unix as a person and her family, she grew disillusioned, noticing that Unix strayed far from her ideals, the hypocrisy of her daughters, and their in-fighting. The Unix Wars further disillusioned her.

During the Unix Wars, she was drafted to fight and serve as a medic, but was mistreated and discriminated against by the full-blooded Unices who considered her inferior for being 'just' a 'Unix-like' and not a full-blooded Unix OS-tan. For years, she had grown to despise most of them except for their defectors. Allegedly, she intentionally neglected Solaris' very sickly younger sister Spring OS-tan, whom Solaris trusted her with, and left her to die.

Years have passed, and she doesn't hate them anymore. Some of them now respect her for the power and influence she gained after the wars, though they might not admit it outright because of their strict, bloodline-based family structure. She hardly ever sees them though, being busy with her work.

====[[Antisoft Coalition|Anti$oft Coalition]]====
She is a part-time member of the Anti$oft Coalition, and while she doesn't have a vendetta against the Windows-tans, she joined because she became friends with OS/2-tan and RISC OS-tan back when they were founding the faction, combined with her sympathy for fellow underdogs. She's not much of an underdog anymore, except in the mobile market, but continues to be supportive of them despite their continuing bad track record as a group. She is willing to join in their tactics, because she feels it is one the only times she can drop her professionalism.

TRS-80-tan is slightly antagonistic of her, annoyed that QNX-tan keeps showing off new pieces of technology.

====Blackberry-tan====
Blackberry-tan became QNX's boss in 2010 and urged her to enter the mobile market. QNX-tan shows some discontent towards her, since her venture into the mobile market under Blackberry's orders went poorly. However, she is grateful that Blackberry-tan still grants her some autonomy, referencing the QNX communities that were allowed to continue since then.

====Others====
After leaving open sorcery to be a proprietary, commercial OS again, some of the open source OS-tans see her as a traitor.

==History and background==
===Early years===
QNX-tan was idealistic at first. She quickly gained a postive reputation for her stability and reliability. In 1984, she had her first major assignment in the Canadian education market as the OS for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisys_ICON Unisys ICON], which she served for several years, though she would face competition against MS-DOS-tan, Apple II-tan, and the Mac-tans. Through the late 1980's and early 1990's, her idealism faded as she was phased out of the market as later ICON machines would run MS-DOS or Windows, and because of the Unix Wars.

She was drafted into the [[Timeline_of_The_Unix_Wars#1980s: | Unix Wars]] as a medic in 1988, because she was phased out of her original market and no longer had that job to exempt her from being drafted.

===Unix Wars===

===2010-present===
In 2010, corresponding with RIM buying out QNX, Blackberry-tan became her boss. QNX-tan gave up on open sorcery to be a fully-commercial OS again, but still acknowledges her hobbyist followers.

Entering the mobile market, she and Blackberry-tan were competing against Windows Mobile, iOS and Android. Their venture didn't go well, the Playbook running QNX wasn't, and still isn't very successful, but QNX-tan and Blackberry-tan will try again as they are still competing.

In her spare time, when Blackberry-tan doesn't need her, QNX-tan continues her various engineering work.

{{OSinfobox
|tanname= MorphOS-tan

|debut= Dec 2006

|osper= MorphOS 1.x
|osdev= The MorphOS Development Team
|reldate= ?
|lastrel= v.1.4.5 (circa 2008)

|fnote= This character represents MorphOS 1.x. There is a separate character for MorphOS 2.x.
}}

==Technical Details==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MorphOS MorphOS] is an AmigaOS-like operating system designed to run on Freescale PowerPC architecture, and certain Amiga hardware equipped with a PPC accelerator card, and can run 68k AmigaOS applications. Support was later added to some PPC Macs with a PowerPC G4 or G5 CPU.

==Character details==
MorphOS 1.x-tan is represented as a teenage girl with luminescent blue eyes and blue hair tied into pigtails. She also has glowing butterfly wings on her back (blue, as in the color of the Morpho butterfly) and her hair is tied with a pair of bows that match her wings and have antennae attached. She typically dresses as a schoolgirl with a lilac blazer, white shirt, red tie, purple skirt and brown boots but she is also a magical girl who dresses in a variety of futuristic, butterfly-themed outfits when on duty as a magical girl.

She is friendly, elegant, extroverted and strong-willed, she is very protective of her younger sisters [[AROS | AROS-tan]] and MorphOS 2.x-tan and gets along very well with their mother [[Amiga | Amiga-tan]], even though they don't get to see Amiga-tan very often.

==OSC Notes==
MorphOS-tan, along with her sisters are technically Amiga-tan's "clones" but Amiga-tan refers to them as her daughters because she has a close emotional relationship with them. MorphOS-tan, MorphOS 2.x-tan and AROS-tan live as wanderers and band together.

==Technical details==
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_Plus%2F4 Commodore Plus/4] is part of the Commodore 264 series, released in 1984; the Commodore C16, C116 and Plus/4. These computer systems have similar capabilities, and are compatible with each other. The C16 and 116 had 16 KB of RAM, the Plus/4 had 64 KB of RAM. They had a more advanced version of Commodore BASIC, and supported more colors, but lacked hardware support for sprites, and the [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=194 Plus/4's built-in office programs were severely limited].

The C16, C116 and Plus/4 were limited to not replace the C64, but to replace the VIC-20, and to be a competitor against the Sinclair computers. The 264 series was a flop in the US, but the C16 and C116 had some success in Western Europe, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_16#Market_performance C16 was successful in Mexico, where it was sold until 1992]. The Plus/4 was successful in Eastern Europe after being sold at lower prices than other computers, and [http://yape.homeserver.hu/history.htm had the greatest success in Hungary].

==Character details==
Plus/4-tan represents the Plus/4 along with the C16 and C116, and is represented as a teenage girl with short light blue hair, dark blue eyes, and a headset. She wears her jacket and boots from her Commodore Fleet uniform with a dress that is lilac and white, or black and white with rainbow trim modeled after the rainbow trim of the Plus/4.

Her Commodore Fleet uniform jacket resembles C64-tan's, but is shorter, and is black and orange instead of white and blue. Sometimes she's depicted wearing a traditional Hungarian folk dress, as Hungary is where the Plus/4 had the most success, and still has quite a following today. The collar of her jacket is decorated with insignia on each lapel, with the Commodore logo, arrow keys modeled after the Plus/4's and C116's arrow keys, "C264", and "Plus/4". She also has "C16" and "C116" insignia on each of her jacket pockets.

In her full uniform, she wore her jacket and boots with a white skirt, a grey shirt, white tie, and a black and white hat with rainbow stripes.

She is quiet, and somewhat melancholy, but is helpful and has great communication skills. She is an artist, though she is not naturally talented at art, referencing the 264 series' lack of hardware sprites, but she has become skilled at art. She is very efficient with resources, and is good at programming, but is naturally bad at handling spreadsheets or graphs, the tasks she was originally meant to do.

}}

==Technical details==
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMSAI_8080 IMSAI 8080] was released in December 1975. It adopted the S-100 Bus standard from the MITS Altair 8800, and was the Altair 8800's main competitor. The IMSAI 8080 was used in many fields, is the first commercial computer to use CP/M, developed by Gary Kildall, who later formed Digital Research.

In 1977, enhanced versions called the VDP series was released. They had a built-in monitor, keyboard and disk drives was released, but had several internal design problems. IMSAI line was discontinued in 1978, but remains supported, and in 2002, a modernized IMSAI computer called the IMSAI Series Two was released.

==Character details==
IMSAI 8080-tan has a resemblance to [[MITS Altair 8800 | MITS Altair 8800-tan]], but has short hair and dark purple eyes, and her hair decorated by a teal headband, alternating red and blue hairclips, and matching earrings. She wears a black T-shirt over a long, blue and red sleeved shirt, teal skirt, black leggings and teal boots. Her outfit is modeled after the IMSAI 8080's color scheme and its distinctive arrangement of bright red and blue switches, and she usually carries around an old suitcase from her days in the military and government.

She is a businesswoman and messenger who assists other independent OS-tans or hardware-tans to keep in contact with each other. She also builds equipment to help them. Her interest in building equipment is a reference to the IMSAI Series Two launch.

Owing to the IMSAI 8080's most famous role as the computer used to hack into the military supercomputer in the movie WarGames, IMSAI 8080-tan is a huge fan of the movie, and used to have plans of hacking and mind control.

She is an experienced tactician, and she has a recurring desire to return to her glory days, but has adopted a kinder and humbler attitude, and uses her skills to help others in need.

===Abilities===
IMSAI 8080-tan is physically strong and sturdy by design, and developed great survival skills from her years as a wanderer. Her magical abilities are very limited, but she is good at melee combat.

===Family and relationships===
====Altair 8800====

Although IMSAI 8080-tan respected Altair 8800-tan due to the [http://www.pc-history.org/imsai.htm IMSAI 8080's origins] of being based off of the Altair 8800, but modified to be a more rugged commercial-grade system, they were each other's main competitors and mortal enemies in the 1970's. Their rivalry was slightly complicated over IMSAI 8080-tan helping codify the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-100_bus S-100 bus] as a standard, which is a part of the Altair 8800's legacy, but Altair 8800-tan disliked IMSAI 8080-tan for not just being a competitor, but accusing her of being an intellectual property thief for many years.

Decades passed, and their paths diverged so much that they are no longer enemies, and they reconciled in the 2000's, and are friends now.

====DR-DOS====
DR-DOS-tan (then CP/M-tan) and IMSAI 8080-tan were each other's first friends. IMSAI 8080-tan was her mentor, and encouraged her to be highly ambitious and to succeed by any means. She meant to inspire DR-DOS-tan to greatness, but would later regret encouraging her cutthroat behaviors and tactics, when finding that DR-DOS-tan shunned her own children because she saw them only as competition.

==OSC Notes==

In the Annex Project, IMSAI 8080-tan is a member of the [[CIOST | Confederation of Independent OS-tans]], but was a [[Wanderer Class | wanderer]] for more than 20 years before she joined them.

She eagerly joined and is a valuable asset to them with her business skills, data communication skills and connections to important information networks. Although she is one of the oldest members of the CIOST, she still remains relevant even to the younger members.

==History and background==

===Rise to power (1975-1977)===
IMSAI 8080-tan can technically be considered Altair 8800-tan's clone, although they are not actually blood related. IMSAI 8080-tan was modeled after Altair 8800-tan, but was designed to be a lot stronger and hardier, and to be a commercial system.
Her rise to success, required taking advantage of Altair 8800-tan's weaknesses, with some risk-taking of her own. Notably, she made promises that she was not ready to make, but would fulfill, and gain a lot of followers, referencing how some [http://www.oldcomputermuseum.com/imsai_8080.html IMSAI 8080 kits were incomplete] to keep up with the demand that MITS could not meet, a strategy that was successful.

In her prime, she was a successful businesswoman who also worked jobs with the military and government, but these careers would be short-lived when [http://www.pc-history.org/imsai.htm competitors such as Apple I-tan, and Commodore KIM-1-tan] become more prominent. (see the "The Life and Death of Imsai" section). She knew they would be a threat, and their successors more so.

===Decline (1977-1980's)===
In 1977, she tried to keep up with them, and more advanced competitors such as Apple II-tan and Commodore PET-tan, to no avail. She tried to improve herself, and had multiple upgrades, but they had severe design flaws, and she lost a lot of her supporters. She retained some support from the military, goverment, scientists, and business, they were only a small percentage of her supporters.

She soon faded into obscurity, resented her competitors, and and felt hopeless as a wanderer, though she retained a small but loyal following, and company support. Because of the remaining support her from her company and followers, she didn't give up, and she fared decently as a wanderer.

===1990's and later===
She never had to struggle for survival living as a wanderer, but may have nearly gotten caught in the crossfire of the OS Wars in the mid-1990's. By this time, she saw other wanderers who were much worse off than she was, OS-tans that were abandoned or forgotten, or lost their factions after their companies went bankrupt, including some of her former competitors.

Seeing others worse off than she was led to her becoming a lot more humble, and to use her skills and resources to help others in need, and to let go of past rivalries.

She joined the [[CIOST | Confederation of Independent OS-tans]] in 2003 to put her skills to further use. Although she does not have as nearly as many supporters as she had in her prime, she is happy to have corporate support all these decades, and takes pride in being the oldest active (or not-retired) OS-tan/early computer-tan from the dawn of the personal computer revolution and wants to keep this distinction for as long as she can.

CIOST

2019-08-18T17:41:21Z

Aurora Borealis:

The '''Confederation of Independent OS-tans (CIOST)''' is a loosely-organized faction of OS-tans that have agreed to defend each other, and their continued independence. Its members do not live together, and do not convene often, but have enough recognition to be considered a faction. Superficially, its members don't seem different from the [[Wanderer Class]], but the members of the CIOST fiercely defend their independence, and most wanderers do not.

It would be an extremely powerful faction if its members united, and they could succeed on taking on the Windows Family or the Linux/Unix Consortium, but most CIOST members prefer the decentralized direction of the faction.
When divided, several of its members are not that powerful on their own. The faction usually not seen as much of an inspiration, but some of its members joined later because they were inspired by the ideals of the CIOST, and what they could do when its members work together.

==History==
The CIOST was founded by [[VMS | VMS-tan]] in 1998, shortly after her original faction, the [[DEC Military]] was conquered by HP. A few years prior to this, the DEC Military was already weakened after losing a lot of territory to [[Windows NT | Windows NT-tan]]. Having to work for the company that conquered her while most of her relatives were scattered away was humiliating to her, and she sympathized with the many OS-tans who have lost out to the larger and more powerful factions.

She traveled the world to seek other OS-tans who were affected, so they could combine their skills and resources to defend each others' independence, and to take on the larger and more powerful factions.

Development began in 1999 as an OS for sensor networks, and is programmed with a dialect of C that is optimized for low memory limits. Programs are built from software compoments that are connected to each other instead of being monolithic. It was used in Estonia's first satellite, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESTCube-1 ESTCube-1].

==Character details==
===General===
TinyOS-tan is represented as a short young girl with short dark blue hair in pigtails, and wears a long-sleeved black jumpsuit with black boots, a short-sleeved white overcoat, and a white helmet with a built-in wireless communicator. Her helmet has a pair of blue stripes on it, and her outfit has square-shaped blue accents on it.

She is very efficient with resources, and uses her skills to operate sensor networks in scattered locations. She is very loyal, but very short-tempered, and often on edge, anticipating the next enemy to fight. Although she is generally a loner, she has great communication skills, and is friends with [[VxWorks | VxWorks-tan]], and loves to hear of her latest adventures in space.
===Abilities===

She is usually accompanied by fragments of programs as her familiars, that can link together to operate as one, referencing the non-monolithic structure of TinyOS programs. She can also use the sensors she built as warp points to warp from place to place. Her familiars can assist her in combat, but she also wields a plasma rifle.

==OSC Notes==
===History and background===
In the Annex Project, TinyOS-tan is in the [[CIOST | Confederation of Independent OS-tans]], and joined them early in her life to further utilize her skills. Her proudest achievement was her trip into space, which she worked alongside FreeRTOS-tan to achieve, in a mission to develop an electric sail. She used the experience to develop satellites for the CIOST.

==Character details==
===General===
BOS/360-tan is the oldest of the IBM System/360 OS-tans, and is also TOS/360-tan's twin sister. Being a small stop-gap OS until a more advanced one would take her place, she was very thin, physically weak, and unfit for active duty. She looks a lot like OS/360-tan, but much smaller and thinner, and mainly wore punch-card theme dresses with long coats.

Aware of her origins, and fate of being obsolete from the start, she was gloomy, reclusive and borderline suicidal, but did the best she was physically capable of at work, primarily working in operations.

===Family and relationships===
BOS/360-tan was [[DOS/360]]'s mentor. She wasn't happy about being the mentor to the very OS-tan meant to replace her as soon as possible, but took her mentor duties in stride in order to make a difference.

Although she only tolerated [[OS/360]], mentored DOS/360, and was rightfully terrified of [[TOS/360]], she was nevertheless proud to be an IBM-tan, and contribute in what ever ways she could in the short time she had to live.

==Technical Details==
Construction on the FUJIC computer began in 1949 and was completed by March, 1956. It was built by one person - Dr. Okazaki Bunji - and was used by photography and imaging company Fujifilm to perform lens design calculations. The first stored-program computer in Japan, FUJIC was about twice as fast as expected.

==Character details==
===General===
FUJIC-tan is depicted as a young woman with dark brown hair, olive-green eyes and glasses. She wears traditional Japanese attire, usually a silver kimono with green trim, as well as bronze hair decorations.

Personality-wise, FUJIC-tan is resourceful, intelligent and somewhat overachieving. She is an optical engineer by trade, specializing in camera lens design. An avid photographer, she carries a camera with her wherever she goes.

==History and background==
FUJIC-tan was born in the early 1950s and completed her training by the middle part of the decade. Unlike many computers of her time, she was raised by a single person - something that perhaps made her a bit prone to being socially-overwhelmed later in life. She debuted in 1956, at which point she began working in lens design.

Her career was a short one, even by 1950s OS-tan standards - she retired in 1958. It is thought that she is still alive today, studying science history.

Commissioned by the US Air Force in 1950 and built by a group of civilian engineers, the three Florida Automatic Computers were first operated in April 1953. They were used to process data from air-breathing and cruise missile tests at Atlantic Missile Range until 1960, when they were replaced by IBM 709 computers.

The FLAC was a von Neumann architecture computer, and most closely resembled the SEAC.

==Character details==
FLAC-tan is a woman of average height, with gray eyes, tanned skin and sun-bleached brown hair. She is particularly fast, strong and fast-healing for a computer of her era; however she is also quite temperamental, making her difficult to work with. FLAC-tan is depicted as either an Airman First Class or civilian contractor; in either interpretation, she is an expert on various missiles.

==History and background==
FLAC-tan was born at some point between 1950 and 1953, her debut occurring in 1953.

}}

==Technical details==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Unix Amiga Unix] (aka: AMIX) was a port of Unix SysV R4 developed for the Amiga 3000 line as an alternative to the Amiga OS, and does not have compatibility layers to run Amiga OS programs. Aside from the Amiga 3000UX, the Amiga 3000 line included AmigaOS by default. AMIX was a proprietary OS, but components of it were open source.

AMIX was released in 1990, and [http://www.amigaunix.com/doku.php/history had some success as an OS sold to university students], but its last release was in 1992, and Commodore dropped support for it in 1993.

==Character details==
AMIX-tan is represented as a tall woman with some similarities in appearance to Amiga-tan, and is depicted wearing a stylized military uniform with a cape, and carries a magician wand. Her wand is decorated with a small globe on top, a pair of red and blue ribbons, and five stripes in the Amiga logo colors. She is a magician who was proficient in the standard sorcery all Unix-tans knew, and knew several unique spells, referencing the unique commands that Amiga Unix has.

Her personality was very stern and unforgiving, as [http://www.amigaunix.com/doku.php AMIX was said to be a difficult and frustrating OS to install]. She often felt lonely and coped by being so strict towards others.

===Appearance===
AMIX-tan had brown hair, light blue eyes, red glasses, and wore a white headband with the Commodore logo on it. The color scheme of her uniform was a muted version of the color scheme of [[Amiga | Amiga-tan's]] Commodore cadet uniform. Her overcoat was gray with white epaulets, blue trim, a red belt, and had a long blue cape. She wore a light blue collared shirt with a red tie.

===Family and relationships===

====Commodore-tans====
The Commodore-tans are her stepsisters, and she served alongside them as part of the [[Commodore Fleet]], aside from [[Commodore 65 | Commodore 65-tan]], whom she never met. AMIX-tan did not often spend a lot of time with them because she had different missions than them, competing in the education market and against the DEC and Unix workstations instead of the contemporary home computers. Of the Commodore-tans, she got along with PET-tan the best, and PET-tan entrusted her to be Amiga-tan's mentor.

====Amiga====
Amiga-tan is another of her stepsisters. Although AMIX-tan is younger than Amiga-tan, AMIX-tan was entrusted to be her mentor who would teach her how to fit in with the Commodore Fleet and to follow their protocols.

The relationship they had was complicated. Their personalities clashed, and AMIX-tan was frustrated over Amiga-tan not consistently following the Commodore Fleet protocol. Amiga-tan remained friendly and wanted to be her friend. AMIX-tan wanted to accept this friendship, but she also felt some resentment over Amiga-tan taking away some of her following, even if it was unintentional.

====Unix Family====
She was shunned by most of the [[Unix Family]] because of her support for open sourcery before it became socially acceptable for them to support. Her affiliation with Commodore exempted her from fighting in the Unix Wars, and she was very loyal to Commodore, but the shunning she felt from most of the Unix Family affected her.

She almost formed an alliance with Solaris-tan, but it did not work, referencing Sun's failed deal with Commodore to produce the Amiga 3000UX under license.

==History and background==
AMIX-tan was born circa 1988, when a prototype of AMIX was demonstrated, and began her career with the Commodore Fleet with her debut in 1990. She was quickly entrusted to be Amiga-tan's mentor while being assigned different missions from each other, but inadvertently became each other's competitors.

AMIX-tan's assignments were to build a following in the education market, and to compete against the other Unix-tans that were in the workstation market. Amiga-tan's capabilities were more versatile, but overlapped with AMIX-tan's in the education market, which caused her and AMIX-tan to be competitors to each other, with Amiga-tan often winning by gaining more of a following. Amiga-tan's success undercut AMIX-tan's ability to keep her following. AMIX-tan was briefly successful in the education market, and taught as a college professor, but she had to retire when her corporate support from Commodore was dropped in 1993. Her loss of corporate support caused her health to sharply decline.

She left the Commodore Fleet and briefly lived as a wanderer until her death in 1994, looking for students to teach about open sourcery. Although she couldn't fully commit to practicing it, she looked for someone who could.

==Technical details==
ILLIAC is a series of supercomputers created at UI Urbana-Champaign. ILLIAC was originally a Von Neumann architecture machine, but later incarnations were based on unrelated architectures. Today, the ILLIAC name lives on in the Trusted ILLIAC Linux cluster.

==Character details==
''Note: ILLIAC-tan represents all ILLIAC computers, regardless of architecture type. Because of this, is may be better to consider her a sort of "catchall" computer system-tan rather than the personification of a single model of computer.''

====General====

[[File:ILLIACavi.png|thumb|left|100px|]]ILLIAC-tan is depicted as a college-age woman with longish, messy orange hair, pale skin, dark blue eyes and wire-frame round glasses. Her attire is contemporary and casual, with sweaters, jeans and sneakers perennial favorites of hers. While her attitude has always been youthful and mellow, today she is thoroughly into lackadaisical territory and is notorious for slacking. [http://ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,1154.msg75553.html#msg75553]

====Powers====
She is documented as having rather extraordinary regeneration abilities, and has been "reborn" a number of times, although the exact mechanics or extent of these abilities are unknown.

====Family and Relationships====
Like every other IAS Machine, ILLIAC's mother is [[IAS | IAS Machine]]-tan and her sisters are the other members of the Von Neumann family. Her twin sister is [[ORDVAC]], although they did not have much contact. Nowadays, ILLIAC-tan associates mostly with the Linux-tans, so much in fact that she has become an honorary member of the [[Linux Unix Consortium]] and a close friend to [[Linux]]-tan.

==History and Background==
====As ILLIAC I and II====
ILLIAC-tan was born sometime in the early 1950s as ORDVAC-tan's twin sister (although "clone" might be a better description, since ORDVAC existed first and ILLIAC was built from her plans). The sisters spent time together in their youth, but work responsibilities separated them - ILLIAC-tan staying at the University of Illinois, and ORDVAC being stationed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. [http://ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,1154.msg75574.html#msg75574]

She was originally a bright-eyed, enthusiastic young student, highly prized by her professors for her intelligence, speed and accuracy. Owing her nature as a computer, she wasn't enrolled in college like a typical human student - instead, taking whatever classes caught her fancy. She tends to insist that she majored in music and physics or biology, although she remains quite vague about the exact extent of her education.

She continued her studies and work normally throughout the 1950s and 60s.

====ILLIAC III and IV====
Starting in 1967 she underwent training with the Burroughs Corporation in Pennsylvania, in preparation for her transition to her next state - ILLIAC IV.

However, in 1968 she was involved in a laboratory accident at her university - a fire that badly injured her. While her physical wounds were repaired quite quickly due to her regeneratory nature, the psychological damage was profound and permanent - she developed a severe phobia of flames and explosions. This fear was intensified in the 1969-1970 period, when she became the target of protests over her ties to the US government and suspected involvement with the nuclear research program. She was not involved in atomic weapons research, but the rumors proved destructive; she was not allowed back to her university due to fears that she would be attacked or killed.

NASA instead offered her employment and in 1972 she moved to California to work at Ames Research Center, under the cover of being "hospitalized". While work restrictions were initially placed upon her due to fears of overheating, she became an indispensable part of their team, and at her peak she is said to have rivaled even [[CRAY-1]]-tan in terms of power. She was employed by NASA until 1982.

====Post-ILLIAC III====
She was essentially unemployed throughout the 1980s and 1990s, but she was the subject of renewed interest in the mid-2000s. In 2006, she was "reborn" as Trusted ILLIAC, working with Linux-tan and becoming affiliated with the Linux/Unix Consortium.

Today, she is semi-retired but still spends most of her time hanging out around her old campus. She is one of only a few surviving members of the von Neumann family, and continues to cling to her Neumannist heritage, although she has lapsed in practice.

It was in use from the mid-1950s to 1965, and was an early user of ferrite core memory. Its design was influenced by von Neumann's design principles, making it an IAS-type system. Specifically, the TIFRAC was influenced by fragments of knowledge about the ORDVAC system.

==Character details==
===General===
TIFRAC-tan is depicted as a dark-complexioned woman with long black hair and dark eyes. She generally wears traditional Indian clothing and has formal wear bedecked with elaborate beading and embroidery, referencing the stringing together of tens of thousands of small components.

TIFRAC-tan was a scientist, her fields of expertise were nuclear physics and computer science. She was highly sociable and affable, and tried to instill self-confidence and -reliance in her coworkers. Since she was built and operated by a team who had no prior experience with computers, TIFRAC-tan was no stranger to trial-and-error learning; while she was very ambitious and great at clever solutions, she was also somewhat injury-prone and frail, referencing the several thousand parts, and their many more connections that could break.

She had a long career for an early mainframe, but died when the TIFRAC mainframe was [http://trivia.serendip.in/trivia/indias-first-computer scrapped in the mid-1970's].

==Technical details==
Apple I-tan personifies the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_I Apple I], a limited production circuit board computer for electronics hobbyists which pioneered many features that made the subsequent Apple II a commercial success. About 200 were made, many of which were destroyed in 1978 when users traded in their Apple I for an Apple II at a discounted price; the Apple I had no formal tech support. [https://9to5mac.com/2019/05/09/apple-1-auction-may/ An estimated 70 Apple I units are still in existence], which is higher than earlier estimates of 30-50, but the prices that they sell for in auctions have increased from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The highest-selling units are complete with packaging and documents.

The system lives on through emulation, and functioning Apple I replicas currently being made and sold.

==Character details==
She is depicted as a young hippy woman in her late teens or early twenties, with long brown hair decorated with flowers, green eyes, patchy earth-colored clothing, and wood paraphernalia. In addition to having a maternal disposition, she is also considered to be open-minded and idealistic, optimistic in the success of her offspring in leading the personal computer revolution. Owing to the wood cases of some of the most famous Apple I units, Apple I-tan was originally depicted as a living doll (similar to a Rozen Maiden), although a later rendition seemingly depicts her as a regular woman of average height.

Apple I-tan is considered the de-facto mother of the entire [[Apple Family | Apple Family]], despite the fact that the [[Classic Mac|Macintosh]] and [[NeXT/OSX|OSX lines]] are not directly related to the original Apple computer line. She is deceased, and [[Apple II | Apple II-tan]], [[Apple III | Apple III-tan]] and [[Apple Lisa | Lisa-tan]] were the only Apple-tans to have known her in life; thus given her proximity to her mother, Apple II-tan carries an apple-shaped pendant with an old black white photo of Apple I-tan in remembrance.

==History and background==
In her youth and before she had any daughters, Apple I-tan was somewhat of a prankster but often felt lonely. One of her first friends was Altair 8800-tan, whom she was inspired by.

Her first daughter was her direct successor, Apple II-tan. Her other two daughters she knew while still alive were Apple III-tan her half-sister Lisa-tan. Macintosh System 1-tan, however, was born shortly after Apple I-tan died. Of her daughters, she had to spend the most time with Apple II-tan, who was already wise beyond her years, to teach her the things that would ensure a better future for present and future generations of the Apple Family, and to carry on family traditions.

Referencing the 1978 Apple I trade-ins, her health sharply declined at that point, and was hardly ever able to spend much time with Apple III and Lisa. She wanted to spend more time with each of them, and felt sad she couldn't; when she knew her time was almost up, she left to die alone as to trouble her daughters less over her death. Lisa-tan saw Apple I-tan outside in a field just minutes before her death and just before quietly passing away, Apple I-tan apologized to her for never have been able to spend more time with her.

Apple I-tan's body was preserved and kept in a secret mausoleum whose location was only known by Lisa-tan. The mausoleum was located somewhere in the original capital city of the Apple Family's territory until it got attacked by the Windows Family forces during the OS Wars. Fortunately, her body was safely relocated to a new mausoleum located in the territory's mountainside.

She still lives on in multiple ways (referencing the Apple I emulators and the Replica-1, the legalized Apple I-clone), with dedicated followers carrying on her hopes and dreams and that Apple I-tan herself is alive again though as a ghost that no one can see or hear but she is happy to watch over all of her descendants.

==OSC Notes==
Apple I-tan is a [[Deceased OS-tan | deceased character]], owing to the fact that few of the actual Apple I units have survived in working condition to this day, and thus has no active user following to keep the original system alive. It's mostly agreed on that emulation can keep OS-tans alive, and there are Apple I emulators, so she could be alive, but her death is mainly for storyline purposes.

==Technical details==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray-2 The Cray-2's] development started in 1979. It was released in 1985 as the successor to the Cray X-MP, and held the record for the fastest and most powerful supercomputer until 1990 with a clock speed of 244 MHz. The Cray-2's smaller size than the Cray-1 led to more severe problems with overheating, which were addressed by equipping all Cray-2 units with cooling tanks.

==Character details==
Cray-2-tan is represented as a woman with long wavy dark blue hair, and dark grey eyes, and wearing a stylized 19th century style swimsuit that is primarily black with red and silver accents. Her hair is decorated by several metal hairclips, and her skirt has panels on it that are customizable, like on [[CRAY-1 | Cray-1-tan's]] dresses. She has a cooling tank strapped to her back, and always has to have it with her to avoid overheating. She also carries a wand fashioned from cooling rods.

Cray-2-tan was the most powerful mainframe-tan from her 1985 debut until 1990, but despite the tremendous power she retains, she has low self-esteem, and often struggled to use her full power. She is hot-headed, and an overachiever who still often believes that her best is not enough, but takes pride in the work she has done in movies. Although she is often serious, she doesn't mind practical jokes, referencing the gags that Cray-2 users had about the Cray-2's cooling tank, such as putting a "No Fishing" sign on it.

===Abilities===
She is an elemental sorceress, specializing in water magic. She developed the ability to shape liquid metal into weapons, as a reference to the [http://www.cpushack.com/2018/05/27/mainframes-and-supercomputers-from-the-beginning-till-today/ Cray-2's involvement in the production of Terminator 2: Judgment Day]. She is an excellent multitasker and fast thinker, referencing the Cray-2's fast memory and ability to quickly process large data sets.
===Relationships===
====Cray-1====
Cray-2-tan is Cray-1-tan's estranged daughter. Cray-1-tan had extremely high expectations of her since her creation because of other competitors. The pressure she put on Cray-2-tan to live up to these expectations caused Cray-2-tan to frequently overexert herself, and she even had to have her body rebuilt multiple times from the strain her power had on herself. This is in reference to the Cray-2 being expected to be 10 times faster than the Cray-1, and how the Cray-2 had to be rebuilt multiple times due to design problems.

==OSC Notes==
In the Annex Project fanon, Cray-2-tan is a wanderer, and former member of the Mainframe Guild. She resigned from the Guild some time after 1990.

It was released by Microsoft for personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs, as well as Mobile devices, such as ARM Tablets and Phones. Windows 10 marks a shift in Microsoft's strategy by allowing iOS and Win32 applications to be compiled as WinRT applications, and by changing the Windows distribution model to what has been dubbed as "Windows as a service", with free updates that bring new features and functionality, as opposed to previous operating systems that only received major features and functionality through either service packs or paid upgrades to a newer version. It also is the first Windows to be widely available for public testing early on in the development with the ability to give feedback, helping shape Windows to best suit it's customers' needs.

Windows 10 implements an adjustable "hybrid" menu system that combines the best of both the Start Menu and Start Screen, and uses "Continuum" to seamlessly select the best layout and method of interaction based on the device and it's current state (I.E laptop, tablet, 2-in-1 tablet-mode/pc-mode).

==Technical details==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8 Windows 8] was released by Microsoft in 2012 for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs. It is the successor to Windows 7, and the predecessor to Windows 10. Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor in 2009. Its existence was first announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 25, 2012, with upgrade disks and PCs available the following day.

Windows 8 added integration with online services, USB 3.0 support, additional security features, and introduced the Windows Store. It introduced the Metro design elements from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Phone Windows Phone] to Windows desktops, and was oriented towards touchscreens to compete against other mobile OSes.

There was much controversy over Windows 8 for its new Start Menu, and the removal of the Start button from the taskbar, which were not welcomed by many. Some have even called it "unfriendly" and "useless" on a desktop or laptop, and reviews of the OS were quite mixed, or negative. Some of these issues were addressed with Windows 8.1, which was released to the public on October 27th 2013. 8.1 brought the Start button back to the taskbar, and made enhancements to the Start screen to address criticisms of Windows 8's user unfriendliness. 8.1 had mixed reviews, but had overall more positive reviews.

==Yu & Ai Madobe==

[[File:AiThumb.PNG|left|thumb|100px|Ai, the eldest]][[File:YuThumb.PNG|right|thumb|100px|Yu, the youngest]]Yu & Ai are the Microsoft Japan mascots for Windows 8, which first appeared in an [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-10-11/microsoft-windows-8-2-new-japanese-moe-mascots-revealed article] about the two mascots for Windows 8 on October 11th, 2012. Before this article, one can see the silhouette of Yu Madobe at the end of a music video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydJinL8Ln3Q Through The Window] by MasatakaP and Electrocutica, that was the opener for Microsoft Developer Days in japan, and which stars [[Windows Azure|Claudia Madobe]],with a quick appearance by [[Windows 7|Nanami Madobe]] at the end shortly before the silhouette is seen.

Not much about these -tans are known, such as personality, or height, etc... only time will yield that information.

===Theory===
(NOTE: This is not OSC canon and is theory by an OSC user. Take information with a grain of salt...)

It is possible that Yu represents Windows RT while Ai represents Windows 8. Reason this is possible is because Ai being older than Yu, combined with the similar appearances, and Yu's more moe poses and appearance compared to Ai's more professional and serious poses, could be a reference to Windows RT and Windows 8, with 8 Being the oldest and more professional (having beta releases before its official release), and Windows RT being a tablet OS with the same UI as Windows 8, but having no x86 application support and only usable on ARM devices, making it more of a os to play with than something for professional work (despite being bundled with Office RT).

===Windows 8 DSP===
[[File:AiYuDSP8.PNG|thumb|left|100px|Windows 8 DSP]]
In Japan, one can buy 2 special editions of Windows 8 DSP which includes theme packs for Yu or Ai, as well as the accompanying sounds. Furthermore, in the Akihabara shopping district one can by a limited edition of these versions of Windows 8 DSP that include extra voices not contained in the regular Yu & Ai editions, as well as the Microsoft Wedge Mouse included will have an illustration on it of either Yu or Ai.

==Other Renditions==
Though Yu & Ai are the mascots used in Windows 8, theyre not the only ones! There's not many but a few fan made ones have surfaced in the fandom, such as a few from our very own users in the Os-tan collection forums, as well as a comic strip that oddly depicted 8-tan as a film director.

===Aya Madobe===
[[File:AyaTHUMB.png|thumb|100px|Aya Madobe]]
(NOTE: This is a fan-made tan and is not OSC canon.)

Aya Madobe is an alternate (fan-made) OS-tan for Windows 8. She has brown hair, is about 5"8, and is somewhere between the ages of 18 & 20. She is often disliked by her peers, and her existence is unacknowledged by the [[Windows Family]], with one exception, that being her sister, [[Windows 7|Nanami Madobe]], who visits her from time to time, and enjoys spending time with her. Aya is always trying to impress other people, and likes to always add her own personal touch to things. She is often misunderstood, and is not respected in her field when it comes to her line of work. When it comes to work she is usually creating office documents or doing assistant work, and is always wearing an ensemble of: A suit, skirt (adorning the Windows 8 logo), one of her many different colored ties (she owns 25 assorted colored ties in all), a charm bracelet, and black thigh high heeled boots. When it comes to her work her employers always seem to deem her unfit for certain task others in her position would find commonplace, and often hand such tasks off to other employees, despite her ability to complete the tasks. When she is not at work she is usually hanging out with some of her friends, [[Windows Azure|Claudia Madobe]], or Nanami, and is always wearing an ensemble of: Colored Pastel Shirt (She owns 25 assorted pastel colored shirts in all), a colored tie, a vest, a ruffled miniskirt (adorning a colored Windows 8 logo that matches her shirt color), black stockings, a charm bracelet, and thigh high zip up onyx black heeled platform boots. (note she always has a tie and charm bracelet).

Other Windows 8-tan designs can be seen below in in the 8-tan gallery section. A design by an unknown artist is of a blonde-haired girl in a dark blue sailor fuku school uniform. Her right eye is green, and her left eye is blue, and wears a blue bowtie with the Windows logo as a brooch.

A design by the artist Sato-kun depicts Windows 8-tan as a girl with short dark teal hair with a ponytail on her right side, and an 8-shaped hairclip on her left side. Her ponytail is tied with a teal bow, and she wears a school uniform in shades of blue and teal, with white socks and teal shoes.

Another design by an unknown artist depicts her as a cameragirl with red hair in a ponytail, orange eyes, and yellow glasses. She wears a tan hat, best and boots, with a white collared shirt, an orange tie, and green pants. She is nicknamed Mirihachi (ミリハチ). Her nickname, and her being a film enthusiast may be a pun on 8mm film.

There is another Windows 8-tan design depicting her as a woman with short green hair, with long bangs covering one of her eyes. She wears a multi-layered kimono with brightly-colored patterns, with a large green and white obi tied at the front.
A design specifically for Windows 8 Consumer Preview is a girl with long black hair, blue eyes, and wears a blue suit jacket with a black pleated skirt, long black socks, and a gray patterned scarf. She has mechanical pieces attached to, and around her head.

}}

==Character Details==
===General===
Amiga-tan or 'Miggy' is commonly drawn as a young, tall, friendly and energetic artist. She is one of the tallest vintage-tans, and towers over all of her contemporaries; this referencing how advanced and powerful the Amiga hardware is, while leaving her seemingly awkward and intimidating compared to them. Her original checkered shirt is based off the contemporary Amiga logo, although the monogram on her chest, the rainbow checkmark on her beret and rainbow eyes nod towards the older 80's logos. Her attire is meant to have a 50's retro look as she is a bit old-fashioned; however, her personality and ideas have (and continue to be) well ahead of their time. As an artist she carries around an art tote riddled with as many easter eggs as art supplies (although later renditions omitted the bag out of practicality).

The beret she wears is the only part of her old [[Commodore Family]] uniform that she still wears. Her old uniform is a stylized, sleeveless sailor outfit with long white gloves; the blouse is white, the skirt and collar are blue and the scarf is red. In her youth, her hair was short and tied in pigtails with Amiga Boing Ball hair ties.

Another depiction of Amiga-tan is her gala dress, this design debuted in Dec 2006 to commemorate the debut of Amiga OS 4.0.

She is one of the few old-era OS-tans (not including the Mac-tans) that still remains very active and has the potential to stage a market comeback. But due to her preference of cooperation rather than competition, she strives to bring ALL underrepresented OS-tans to the public consciousness rather than only herself. Being a voice for the minority doesn't gain her much efficiency, but makes her particularly charismatic to both friends and strangers alike.

===Alternate character interpretation===

===Family and relationships===

Like most old-era OS-tans, the [[Amigoid Family]] structure has historically been somewhat fragmented. Amiga-tan has a mother ([[TripOS]]-tan) and two daughters ([[MorphOS | MorphOS-tan]] and [[AROS | AROS-tan]]), but rarely has a chance to see them. When she was born into the service of the Commodore Family, TripOS-tan had to sign away her parental rights to Amiga-tan, and they have not met until recent years.

Her daughters are actually cloned from her, since she had nothing to do with them being created; she refers to them as her daughters because it's more personal that way.

====Commodore-tans====
Her stepsisters are the [[Commodore Family|Commodore-tans]]: [[Commodore PET | Commodore PET-tan]], [[Commodore VIC-20 | Commodore VIC20-tan]], [[Commodore 64 | Commodore 64-tan]], [[CommodorePlus4 | Commodore Plus/4-tan]], [[Commodore 128 | Commodore 128-tan]] with whom she spent her entire youth; except for Commodore 65-tan, who she had never met until long after the Commodore Family disbanded).

While in service, most of her stepsisters disliked her. PET-tan was constantly annoyed over her disregard for military etiquette, VIC-20-tan and C64-tan hated her for years, seeing her as a threat who would steal their following away. The rivalry was especially personal to C64-tan, who is an aspiring musician and hated that Amiga-tan is a talented musician. Plus/4 merely tolerated her, and C128-tan was somewhat friendly though.

But it is only in recent years that she's been able to get along well with at least PET-tan, C64-tan and C128-tan.

====AMIX (Amiga Unix)====
AMIX-tan was from a Unix bloodline, and was a stepsister to Amiga and the rest of the Commodore Family. AMIX-tan was emotionally cold and calculating, but also lonely; most of her stepsisters were too busy competing amongst themselves or other home computer-tans to pay much attention to her. Amiga-tan, not being very competitive, spent some time with her and became her friend.

====UNIX====
Amiga-tan has met UNIX on occasion, and visits the Binteeji Renmei from time to time. UNIX is friends with her, and is the benefactress of the faction. This was because even at her most bitter after the pain of the Unix wars, she was amazed by Amiga-tan's kind treatment of AMIX-tan, her generosity towards others despite her hardship, and was just happy to meet someone friendly and honest for one of the first times in her life.

==History and background==
===Origins and early life===
Amiga-tan has multiple origins, She is the daughter of TripOS-tan, and was originally going to get adopted into the Atari Family, as the Amiga began development by Atari employees, but when Amiga-tan was born, the Commodore Family offered Trip OS-tan a better deal for her under the condition that she sign away her parental rights.

The circumstances of her early life sparked blood feuds between the Commodores and the Ataris, but even then, most of the Commodore-tans didn't get along with her; she just couldn't fit in, and struggled to cooperate with others even though she wanted to. The more militant of the Commodores saw her as competition rather than an ally, and wrote her off as being arrogant.

Her biggest rival was to be Atari ST-tan, who herself was created in response to Amiga-tan being adopted into the Commodore family; Amiga-tan didn't take the rivalry that seriously (and if anything, C64-tan did much more seriously!) even though her followers did. She was created as an extremely advanced OS-tan, and was the most powerful personal computer-tan for several years. She could have easily dominated the gaming and graphics markets, but would have rather collaborated with others even though she wasn't good at it, and she wasn't a very good tactician, the latter referencing the botched advertisement campaigns of the Amiga. Those factors prevented her from gaining more territory and fortune for her family than she actually did. That was another, yet contradictory reason why C64-tan in particular hated her for years.

In the final years of the Commodore Family, their financial hardships strained their relationships further, with VIC-20, C64 and Plus/4 treating Amiga as a scapegoat. While those tensions got worse, Amiga-tan attempted to remain neutral and indifferent to cope through it all, and not get involved with family politics. Her indifference didn't help in any way. When they went bankrupt in 1994, she didn't take it as hard as many of her stepsisters.

===After the family's bankruptcy===
{{WIP}}
After the Commodore Family disbanded, everyone was left to fend for themselves, and many of them went their own ways. Amiga-tan was alone and wasn't prepared for the brutality of the OS Wars. She couldn't stop and help others, and this upset her a lot; all she could do was run from place to place, narrowly escaping the crossfire. During that time, she met [[Apple II|Apple II-tan]], [[Apple Lisa|Lisa-tan]] and [[GS/OS|GS/OS-tan]], who retired from the [[Apple Family]] to live on II-tan's farmland. II-tan allowed her to live with them, though Lisa-tan was indifferent, and GS/OS-tan was hostile at first, but they allied, motivated to help other OS-tans hurt by the war.

During their war relief efforts, Amiga-tan and her new friends found [[Windows 1.0|Windows 1.0-tan]] and [[Windows 2.0|2.0-tan]] desperately wandering around in a ravaged land. At first 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan refused to join them, feeling guilty that they 'caused' the OS Wars and didn't deserve the help being offered to them.

EComStation

2019-08-17T02:48:39Z

Aurora Borealis: Updated with a later developer, latest release date

{{OSinfobox
|image = Ecstan.jpg

|cname = eComStation
|alias = eCS-tan
|debut = Dec 2006
|height = 165 cm (5'5")
|haircolor= blue
|eyecolor= silver
|apfaction = [[Antisoft Coalition|Anti$oft Coalition]] (not an official member)
|lineage= OS/2

|osper = eComStation
|osdev = Serenity Systems, XEU.com
|reldate = 29 Sep 2000
|lastrel = v.2.1 (20 May 2011)
}}

==Technical details==
'''eComStation-tan''' personifies eComStation (or eCS for short), an x86 operating system published by Serenity Systems International, and considered the direct successor of [[OS2|OS/2]]. eComStation is a modernized version of IBM's OS/2, created due to IBM's discontinuation of the OS/2 product line, as well as an interest by former OS/2 developers (mainly Stardock and Serenity Systems itself) to extend the life of the platform. The operating system was first released in 2000, and has since found customers in banks, small businesses and enthusiasts with previous experience using OS/2.

==Character details==
eComStation-tan is a courteous and optimistic young girl in her early teens, with light gray eyes and short blue hair styled into triple pronged bangs (alluding to the triple-arrow eComstation Logo). She has an agile, athletic build accentuated by a blue jumpsuit (with a futuristic tie tossed in for the business touch), black hightop sneakers and fingerless gloves.

Unlike OS/2-tan, she cannot manifest her multi-tasking power via her hair, but instead uses a special hand-held device that summons telekinetic energy tendrils on demand. The number of tendrils increases with skill, but she can comfortably summon an average of 30 tendrils simultaneously to be used for any number of tasks, from menial things such as typing and knitting, to combat purposes such as roping and whipping. Without this device, she can still rely on fast and dexterous hand-to-hand combat skill, honed (like OS/2) by years of surviving on her own.

Another aspect where she differs significantly from OS/2-tan is in her character. eComStation-tan is very sociable and trusting by comparison, and does not share the same blood vengeance against the Windows-tans. eCS-tan is also one of the few OS-tans with an emotional liking to OS/2-tan, enough to declare OS/2-tan her de facto onee-san (older sister). This has generally not been warmly received by the older OS-tan, although age and IBM's complete abandonment of her in December 2006 has forced OS/2-tan to rethink her position on her young, bright and eager successor.

Although she affiliates herself with the [[Antisoft Coalition|Anti$oft Coalition]], she isn't an official member because OS/2-tan is reluctant to have her officially join, and doesn't like when she tags along. While eCS-tan is eager to help her 'older sister' and her friends, OS/2-tan doesn't want her to suffer from her faction's frequent defeats.

|osper = Dex OS
|osdev = Craig Bamford and the DexOS Community
|reldate = 20 Dec 2004
|lastrel = Dex OS 6 (12 May 2012)
}}

==Technical Details==
DexOS is a free and open source OS written entirely in assembly language, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DexOS designed for coders to get direct access to all of the hardware]. It has a game console-inspired GUI, and a command line interface. It is small enough to boot from a floppy disk, and [http://dex-os.github.io/ its design is focused on speed and customizability].

==Character Details==
===General===
DexOS-tan is represented as tiny robot girl with short silver hair, bright green eyes, and an ant-themed outfit; she wears a red metal helmet with antennae with a matching skirt, wears a blue jacket modeled after the DexOS's console-inspired GUI, and wears silver boots. The ant theme is a reference to DexOS's mascot. On her helmet are headphones, modeled after the "Dex 4U" logo. Another outfit she wears is one modeled after XP-tan's, referencing an alternate GUI resembling Windows XP.

She is a hobbyist who codes, builds machines, and customizes them. She also likes to play games. Classic arcade games are her favorite, owing to [https://www.maketecheasier.com/dexos-the-tiny-toy-os-that-runs-like-a-game-console/ Pong and Space Invaders clones being included with DexOS].

She is a bit simple-minded, but eager to teach others how to code.

===Abilities===

DexOS-tan has super speed, and may be one of the fastest OS-tans alive. She is an experimental OS-tan is optimized for speed and efficiency, but cannot multitask. In her default form, she is not very strong, nor much of a fighter, but can easily be upgraded and equipped with new abilities when the need arises, referencing DexOS's ability to have components swapped as the user sees fit.

==OSC Notes==
She lives as a wanderer, having many friends in different factions, and doesn't want to be held back by faction-related obligations that would interfere.

KolibriOS

2019-08-17T01:43:42Z

Aurora Borealis:

{{OSinfobox
|image = Kolibrios.jpg

|cname = KolibriOS
|alias = Kolibri, KOS
|debut = Sep 2008
|height = 144 cm (4'8")
|haircolor= purple
|eyecolor= silver
|apfaction = [[Wanderer Class]], partly-affiliated with the [[CIOST]]
|lineage= Menuet-32

|osper = KolibriOS
|osdev = KolibriOS Project Team
|reldate = 2004
|lastrel = 0.7.7.0 r7645 (May 1, 2019)
}}

==Technical details==
KolibriOS is derived from the 32-bit version of MenuetOS, both of which are coded entirely in Assembly, and small enough to boot from a 1.44 MB floppy disk. KolibriOS been known to attain boot times [https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/kolibrios.html as low as 3 seconds]. It originated for the x86 platform, but a variant, Kolibri-A, [http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/EmbeddedKOS also known as EmbeddedKOS] has been developed for the AMD platform to be used as an embedded OS.

Development began in 2004 and is still a beta OS, but is frequently updated.

==Character details==
KolibriOS-tan is MenuetOS-tan's daughter, represented as a free-spirited and hyperactive girl with silver eyes, and long purple hair in a similar hairstyle to MenuetOS-tan's, but tied in a bun with a green ribbon. She has hummingbird wings, and can fly. Specifically, she is part colibri, the genus of hummingbird that KolibriOS is named after.

She wears a long and sleeveless light blue dress with a translucent black dress layer over it, silver gloves, and a sash with the colors and pattern of the KolibriOS logo.

Like MenuetOS-tan, KolibriOS-tan is very friendly and somewhat fussy but KolibriOS-tan is the more outgoing of the two. She is good at writing, and keeps a lot of documentation, but is disorganized. Her writings are usually scattered about, and specific information is hard to find in them, referencing how KolibriOS's help documentation is regarded as inconsistent in what it covers or does not, but what it does cover is well-written and clear.

She adheres to a minimalist lifestyle, and likes to play games, reflecting KolibriOS's extremely low system requirements for a modern OS, and the various games included with it.

===Family and relationships===
She has some strong disagreements with MeneuetOS-tan stemming from differing source models. KolibriOS-tan is strictly an adherent of open source philosophies, and thinks that MenuetOS-tan strayed away from it and the open source model due to the 64-bit version of MenuetOS becoming proprietary, and development of the 32-bit version, which is open source, being discontinued. Despite their disagreements, they care enough to come to each other's defense if needed.

She is friends with DexOS-tan and Contiki-tan.

==OSC Notes==
In the Annex Project fanon, she lives as a [[Wanderer Class | wanderer]] because like many hobbyist OS-tans, she was not born into a faction. For a wanderer, she is fairly well-off because she has support from from many hobbyists. She could have joined the [[Confederation of Independent OS-tans]] based on some members' recommendations, but prefers to stay a wanderer because she loves to travel, though she is willing to be an ally to the CIOST.

|osdev = Ville Mikael Turjanmaa
|reldate = May 16, 2000
|lastrel = 1.31.40 (June 23, 2019)
}}

==Technical details==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MenuetOS MenuetOS] is a modern OS coded entirely in assembly and small enough to fit in a single 1.44 MB floppy disk, and is an independent OS not based off of any existing OS. Development is focused on speed, simplicity and efficiency, and was designed to be easy to for a user to learn assembly programming.

The 32-bit version, Menuet32, is free and open source, though development of it had been discontinued in 2015. The 64-bit version is proprietary freeware, and continues to be developed. MenuetOS's first release was in 2000, and the 64-bit version reached version 1.0 in 2015.

==Character details==

===General===

MenuetOS-tan appears as a fairly tall woman with silver eyes, and long wavy, dark red hair in a gradient that is lighter at the ends, and dresses in a simple silver dress over a metallic blue bodysuit. Her dress is held up to knee length with garters attached to her belt so she can run without ripping her dress. More recent additions to her outfit are some translucent blue frills around the collar of her bodysuit, and a matching headband to reflect the addition of translucent title bars in more recent versions of Menuet-64.

She is friendly and loyal, but is reclusive, and easily annoyed by inefficient coding. As an OS that originated with no lineage, she had no family, and immediately learned to fend for herself and be self-reliant.

Being built entirely in assembly and facilitating easy assembly programming, she is a mechanic talented with assembling and fixing machines, and is also a strong advocate for programming in the assembly language for its speed and efficiency, and would gladly teach anyone who is interested. She has mixed feelings about open sourcery and mostly abandoned it, which has caused some to accuse her of being a traitor since the development of the open source Menuet-32 dropped.

She likes to play classic games such as Tetris and Minesweeper, but is an avid fan of Doom and Quake, as these are games that are included with MenuetOS.

She carries around a toolbox, and her weapon of choice is a ray gun that she built. Her hobby is assembling and fixing electronics, which she works on in her machine shop. Owing to the very long period that MenuetOS had as a beta OS, the long-term development plans that its creator had since its earliest stages, and the steady progress that was made during those 15 years, MenuetOS-tan is very determined, but also very patient.

===Family and relationships===
====KolibriOS====
[[KolibriOS | KolibriOS-tan]] is MenuetOS-tan's daughter, derived from Menuet-32. They have some strong disagreements with each other due to their OSes' opposing source models, but care about each other enough to help each other out if needed.

====IMSAI 8080====
[[IMSAI 8080 | IMSAI 8080-tan]] is one of the first friends that MenuetOS-tan made in the CIOST. IMSAI 8080-tan approved for her to join both times that she applied, and empathized with the challenges that she faced when applying for the CIOST.

==OSC Notes==
In the Annex Project continuity, MenuetOS-tan is in the Confederation of Independent OS-tans (CIOST). She is one of the youngest members of the faction, and joined while she was still a beta OS. She is considered one of the friendliest and approachable members of the CIOST, and is willing to help independent wanderers apply, though her personality and her inexperience compared to most other members cause her to clash with some of the other CIOST members.

==History and background==
MenuetOS-tan not born into any faction, as with the other hobbyist OSes. She was not completely alone as a wanderer though, and still had a team of supporters who helped her when needed.

She tried to join the CIOST in the early 2000's, around 2002 or 2003, but was turned down on her first try. She was commended for her independence, resourcefulness and talent with machinery, but they were reluctant to accept her for being a very early beta OS, and thought that would make her a liability in case her development were to be canceled. She tried again within a few years, and joined the CIOST in 2005 or 2006. Though she was still a beta OS, she was approved by enough members to be able to join on her second try, and was given the funding by them to set up her machine shop in exchange for building and repairing weaponry for the CIOST.

==Technical details==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MenuetOS MenuetOS] is a modern OS coded entirely in assembly and small enough to fit in a single 1.44 MB floppy disk, and is an independent OS not based off of any existing OS. Development is focused on speed, simplicity and efficiency, and was designed to be easy to for a user to learn assembly programming.

The 32-bit version, Menuet32, is free and open source, though development of it had been discontinued in 2015. The 64-bit version is proprietary freeware, and continues to be developed. MenuetOS's first release was in 2000, and the 64-bit version reached version 1.0 in 2015.

==Character details==

===General===

MenuetOS-tan appears as a fairly tall woman with silver eyes, and long wavy, dark red hair in a gradient that is lighter at the ends, and dresses in a simple silver dress over a metallic blue bodysuit. Her dress is held up to knee length with garters attached to her belt so she can run without ripping her dress. More recent additions to her outfit are some translucent blue frills around the collar of her bodysuit, and a matching headband to reflect the addition of translucent title bars in more recent versions of Menuet-64.

She is friendly and loyal, but is reclusive, and easily annoyed by inefficient coding. As an OS that originated with no lineage, she had no family, and immediately learned to fend for herself and be self-reliant.

Being built entirely in assembly and facilitating easy assembly programming, she is a mechanic talented with assembling and fixing machines, and is also a strong advocate for programming in the assembly language for its speed and efficiency, and would gladly teach anyone who is interested. She has mixed feelings about open sourcery and mostly abandoned it, which has caused some to accuse her of being a traitor since the development of the open source Menuet-32 dropped.

She likes to play classic games such as Tetris and Minesweeper, but is an avid fan of Doom and Quake, as these are games that are included with MenuetOS.

She carries around a toolbox, and her weapon of choice is a ray gun that she built. Her hobby is assembling and fixing electronics, which she works on in her machine shop. Owing to the very long period that MenuetOS had as a beta OS, the long-term development plans that its creator had since its earliest stages, and the steady progress that was made during those 15 years, MenuetOS-tan is very determined, but also very patient.

===Family and relationships===
====KolibriOS====
[[KolibriOS | KolibriOS-tan]] is MenuetOS-tan's daughter, derived from Menuet-32. They have some strong disagreements with each other due to their OSes' opposing source models, but care about each other enough to help each other out if needed.

====IMSAI 8080====
[[IMSAI 8080 | IMSAI 8080-tan]] is one of the first friends that MenuetOS-tan made in the CIOST. IMSAI 8080-tan approved for her to join both times that she applied, and empathized with the challenges that she faced when applying for the CIOST.

==OSC Notes==
In the Annex Project continuity, MenuetOS-tan is in the Confederation of Independent OS-tans (CIOST). She is one of the youngest members of the faction, and joined while she was still a beta OS. She is considered one of the friendliest and approachable members of the CIOST, and is willing to help independent wanderers apply, though her personality and her inexperience compared to most other members cause her to clash with some of the other CIOST members.

==History and background==
MenuetOS-tan not born into any faction, as with the other hobbyist OSes. She was not completely alone as a wanderer though, and still had a team of supporters who helped her when needed.

She tried to join the CIOST in the early 2000's, around 2002 or 2003, but was turned down on her first try. She was commended for her independence, resourcefulness and talent with machinery, but they were reluctant to accept her for being a very early beta OS, and thought that would make her a liability in case her development were to be canceled. She tried again within a few years, and joined the CIOST in 2005 or 2006. Though she was still a beta OS, she was approved by enough members to be able to join on her second try, and was given the funding by them to set up her machine shop in exchange for building and repairing weaponry for the CIOST.
