She is a nonconformist and a revolutionary and although the original Mac OS introduced the error bombs, System 1-tan's weapon of choice is a large hammer which she wields a reference to the 1984 Macintosh commercial. Despite being friendly and straightfoward, a lot of people found her to be intimidating, for being too straightfoward and simple! She speaks in Newspeak (also a 1984 reference) which relates to that. She is a revolutionary although 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. | ===Description=== | ||
Macintosh System 1-tan represents the first of the OSes with a full-fledged GUI from Apple that runs on the Macintosh series of computers. While Macintosh System 1 is not the first OS with a GUI (the first is [[Pilot OS | Pilot OS]] from Xerox) nor the first OS with a GUI from Apple (the first was Lisa OS for the Apple Lisa), it was the first GUI OS with some success. | |||
She is represented as a small girl with a height of 4'1 [125 cm] who likes 1980's fashion, commonly dressed in a grey minidress with black bike shorts and shoes, white leg warmers, and wears her hair in a wavy side ponytail. She is a very feisty-natured nonconformist and revolutionary with a lot of leadership and charisma although very limited in memory and attention span and also has a one-track mind due to her very adamant nature and due to System 1 not having any form of multitasking or quick access to multiple applications at once. | |||

===OSC Notes=== | |||
In her early life before being released to the public, Macintosh System 1-tan lived with her older sisters [[Apple II | Apple ][-tan]] and 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 but Lisa-tan was not, often giving her lots of chores and sometimes even being abusive. | |||
She was later given another chance to go out in the world to succeed where Lisa-tan failed. Despite being technologically inferior to her in most aspects (except for speed), she 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, 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 fledgeling 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 maninfestation 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 and is even willing to positively interact with outsiders again. | |||
