==Character details== | |||
Mac OS8-tan was originally a character occasionally seen at Futaba Channel. Better known as Tempo-tan, she was depicted as a young, timid-looking, but otherwise cheerful little girl with a bomb-shaped diaper and a hat in the shape of the the rainbow Apple logo of the classic Macintosh (including a white patch to simulate the bite mark_. She was rarely seen, and pictures of this version are only available at an old archive specializing in the Mac OS girls, located at http://evo7gt-a.hp.infoseek.co.jp/osmac/. | Mac OS8-tan was originally a character occasionally seen at Futaba Channel.

The Mac OS8-tan depicted in the avatar is based on the character design created by Aurora Borealis. This version depicts Tempo-tan as older, more outgoing, and slightly war-torn (after the market competition wars with Microsoft in the mid-to-late 1990's), but with the same cheerful disposition as her younger self. The beret she wears, as well as her proficiency in bomb-wielding, is also a throwback to the younger version. She often accompanies [[MacOS | Mac-tan/Mac OSX-tan]] on the daily sorties against perverts, particuarly the Mac OSX-kuns. | |||
==OSC Notes== | |||
In the OS-tan Annex Project backstories, Mac OS8-tan was born as Mac OS 7.7-tan and was raised as a fighter during the thick of the OS Wars as a child and was willing to risk her life. During her mission to stop the Mac Clone-tans (who were actually did more harm than help to the Mac-tans) and exile them from the Apple Family's remaining territory, her name was changed to Mac OS8-tan, as a parallel to the Mac clones of the 90's being forced to discontinue since the clones were only licensed to run Mac OS 7.x. | |||
Other actions of hers also contributed to the comeback the Mac-tans made starting in 1998 which paved the way for future successes. | |||
