| ==Technical details==
| |
| | |
| The Macintosh project was started in late 1979 and was originally intended to be a low cost home computer, but instead took after the Lisa, Apple's first computer with a GUI, which was in turn modeled after (with permission) Xerox's Star computer and [[Pilot OS]]. Both the Lisa and the Mac were made for businesses, but the Mac initially sold for 1/4 the cost, and was the first commercially-successful OS with a GUI.

| ==Character details==
| |
| | |
| She is represented as a small girl 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, with a lot of leadership and charisma. And although she tends to be childish, is scatterbrained, and has a poor attention span, she means well and still strives to be a mother and leader figure to the rest of the [[House of Mac | Mac-tans]], even though nearly all of them see her as a little sister-figure who needs to be cared for. Still, they appreciate her efforts.
| |
| | |
| She 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.
| |
| | |
| 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 mainly speaks in Newspeak as another 1984 reference, and an ironic one at that, but it's to conserve much-needed memory. She is considered 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.

| ===History and background===
| |
| | |
| In her early life before her public debut in 1984, Macintosh System 1-tan lived with her older sisters [[Apple II | Apple ][-tan]], [[Apple III | Apple III-tan]] and [[Apple Lisa | 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. But her childhood before her release was very lonely, as Apple II-tan was so busy with work, and was not able to spend much time with her.
| |
| | |
| She was later given another chance to go out in the world to succeed where Lisa-tan failed. She was technologically inferior to Lisa-tan in most aspects (except for speed), but 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, their success was largely still due to Apple II-tan. 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, has even in recent years reconciled with GEM-tan. The two of them are even friends now.
