PDP-1: Difference between revisions

|hname = Penelope Olsen (Penelope Gurley has also been suggested)

PDP-1 is a small preadolescent girl with blonde hair typically tied into twin buns and blue eyes. She wears round glasses, a blue and white uniform and carries a slingshot. She has an innocent, child-like attitude, but is notoriously feisty, as evidenced by her great tenacity and resourcefulness. She's nonviolent for the most part but not above stirring up a row with another OS-tan – IBMs and other large mainframes are a favorite target of hers'.  

Favourites include gaming, writing and playing baroque classical pieces on the piano, as well as model railroading and amateur electronics.  

PDP-1 is the daughter of [[Whirlwind | Whirlwind]], younger sister of [[SAGE | SAGE]] and [[TX-0]] and elder sister of [[CTSS | CTSS]]. The first DEC-tan, she was born in Maynard in the late 1950s and debuted in Boston in 1959, where she subsequently lived with her mother and sister. The pet of the MIT computer department, she forged many friendships with students and professors who relished teaching the clever girl new things. Her relationship with Whirlwind was affectionate and close but she was more distant from two of her three sisters; CTSS running in an entirely different group and SAGE living far away for the most part (on the occasions she did meet with SAGE she tended to treat her with curiosity and mock-rivalry; looking at her sibling as a sort of archetypal brooding big sis in need of some lightening-up). PDP-1 and TX-0-tan had a close relationship, both emotionally and geographically - the two girls were best of friends and ran in the same social circle.
