Macintosh System 3.4 is the most obscure and short-lived Mac OS with few records of its existence. System 3.4 was released only for the Macintosh 512Ke/Macintosh ED and was distributed with AppleShare 2.0. This Mac OS has no System Software version number and uses Finder 6.1 which is the same version of the finder used by Macintosh System 6.0.x. (compare that to Mac System 3.0 - 3.3 which use Finder 5.x) | Macintosh System 3.4 is the most obscure and short-lived Mac OS with few records of its existence (and no information as to why this Mac OS version was created!).

Macintosh System 3.4-tan is represented as a tall and bizarre girl with long dark brown hair tied into wide and 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 blouse, light blue skirt, yellow leggings and red shoes. She carries a parachute backpack in the style of a compact Mac. She is the second tallest Mac-tan at a height of 180 cm [5'11]. | Macintosh System 3.4-tan is represented as a tall and bizarre girl with long dark brown hair tied into wide and forked pigtails.

Her exact age is unknown but she is likely to be Mac System 6-tan's twin sister (because System 3.4 also uses Finder 6.1) but because there are no detailed records of her past, these cannot be confirmed or disproven by anyone hence why she is subject to conspiracies among her peers. Sometimes she uses these to her advantage. | ||

Unlike the other Mac-tans who all live together in the [[House of Mac]] faction, Macintosh System 3.4-tan lives as a [[Wanderer Class | wanderer]] by choice to improve her skills. | Unlike the other Mac-tans who all live together in the [[House of Mac]] faction, Macintosh System 3.4-tan lives as a [[Wanderer Class | wanderer]] by choice to improve her skills. | ||
In her youth, She was meek, frail and not expected to live very long. She left the Apple Family household in 1991, with the desire to redeem her pitiful childhood, especially after seeing Mac System 6-tan's acts of self-redemption. Her early years as a wanderer were hard, especially during the OS Wars. Although she wasn't living with the rest of the Mac-tans anymore, she donated a lot of her money and supplies she earned from odd jobs to the rest of the family to try and aid them even at her expense. | |||
After the OS Wars of the mid-90's were over, she began training for her career as a stunt performer and a daredevil since almost nothing scared her anymore, and she saw it as a way to make up for her unremarkable early life. | |||
Given how obscure this Mac OS version is (not mentioned on all Mac history sites), how limited its release was and that it likely does not have any userbase, she should be a [[Deceased OS-tan | deceased character]] but is in fact still alive but living on borrowed time. She has known this for several years now which is also part of why she became a daredevil. She strives to live her life to the fullest and to the extreme since any day could be her last but remains optimistic and grateful for all the years she has lived and all the time she has had to follow her dreams. | |||
