===Technical Details===
[[wikipedia:GM-NAA_I/O| General Motors Operating System]] (aka GM-NAA I/O) is the first OS made, by General Motors Research in 1955 for IBM's first commercial computer, the [[wikipedia:IBM_701|IBM 701]].

===Character Details===
The enigmatic matriarch of all later IBM-tans. Her predecessors were [[Harvard Mark I |ASCC]] (aka Harvard Mark I) and [[SSEC|SSEC]] (Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator). She differed radically from them for being an OS, and as such can be installed on multiple sites, while her predecessors were single-installation computers with a much more limited scope of influence and life force. She never knew them though, because they died before she was created. 

GMOS-tan is depicted as a woman with curly blonde hair, a blue and green frilly gown combining Victorian and Elizabethan-era fashions with an industrial vibe; the punch-card theme, collar and tie reference the industrial use of this OS. She was accompanied by assembly worker servants, and was a benevolent queen-like figure to her subjects. 

She did not have much of a family growing up since her older sisters died, she was happy to have daughters and they were her immediate family: [[IBSYS|IBSYS-tan]], [[UMES|UMES-tan]] and [[BESYS|BESYS-tan]]. She died in the mid 1960's. Much of what was known of her personality and appearance had been lost to time to nearly all the IBM-tans, but is still revered by them, and the many mainframe-tans she influenced.
