Technical details

The Honeywell Kitchen Computer (also known as H316) was released in 1969 and designed to be used in the kitchen to store recipes although no units were sold because it was too hard to use and prohibitively expensive. To input recipes, the user had to put them in in binary code by flipping a series of switches. There was no screen, data read back was in the form of blinking lights. It cost $10,000 in 1969 money, which is over $60,000 adjusted for inflation.

Character details

Honeywell Kitchen Computer-tan is represented as a cook who loves to do her job although she is terrible at it. Appearance-wise she wears a 1950's-style dress with an apron, oven mitts and a chef's hat and has her hair in a flip-do. Her dress is red and her apron is white, modeled after the colors of the Kitchen Computer.

She was at first hailed as a perfect chef's companion. But aside from being a terrible cook, she is considered to be more compatible with a computer engineer than a cook (as the Honeywell Kitchen Computer's only way of outputting information was in a panel of lights), and even then whoever worked with her had to be very very patient. She has trouble speaking or listening clearly, and her only talent being that she has a fairly good memory.
