[[wikipedia:University_of_Michigan_Executive_System| UMES]] is based off [[GMOS| General Motors Operating System]], but modified for smaller student tasks, as a university OS. It is the predecessor of [[wikipedia:Michigan_Terminal_System| MTS]]. It was the original system the [[wikipedia:MAD_(programming_language)| MAD]] programming language, also designed by the University of Michigan. | [[wikipedia:University_of_Michigan_Executive_System| UMES]] is based off [[GMOS| General Motors Operating System]], but modified for smaller student tasks, as a university OS.

==Character Details== | |||
UMES-tan was similar in appearance to [[IBSYS|IBSYS-tan]], but had blonde hair, and their fashions diverged somewhat, UMES's outfits had more of a winter theme to them, and often wore fur hats, boots and a scarf with her dresses. She also had some resemblance to her younger sister/successor [[MTS|MTS-tan]]. but was less flashy since she didn't travel as much or get as much widespread attention. | UMES-tan was similar in appearance to [[IBSYS|IBSYS-tan]], but had blonde hair, and their fashions diverged somewhat, UMES's outfits had more of a winter theme to them, and often wore fur hats, boots and a scarf with her dresses.

She had a subtle sense of humor, mainly directed at her operators, referencing that if an operator's compilation under MAD failed, a line portrait of Alfred E. Neumann would be printed instead. | She had a subtle sense of humor, mainly directed at her operators, referencing that if an operator's compilation under MAD failed, a line portrait of Alfred E. Neumann would be printed instead, and she was an avid reader of Mad Magazine, as the MAD language was named after it. | ||
==History and Background== | |||
Although of an IBM OS lineage, UMES-tan was not raised in the early IBM society, but instead had a background in education and working with college students, work she dedicated her life to. She mainly lived in Michigan, but also traveled to work with [[CTSS|CTSS-tan]], who she was a contemporary of and a friend to, as they worked closely together on joint MIT/UM projects in the early 60's. | |||
When her MTS-tan was created as her successor, UMES-tan's lifeforce was depleted in the process, as the UMES machines got discontinued and shut down in 1967, suffering the same fate as [[BESYS|BESYS-tan]]. However, she lived just long enough to meet the young MTS-tan, and was resentful for being replaced and sacrificed, but chose to reconcile with MTS-tan in her final moments because she felt it'd be better than dying bitter and alone like BESYS-tan did. | |||
