Character Details

UMES-tan was similar in appearance to IBSYS-tan, but had blonde hair, and their fashions diverged somewhat, UMES's outfits had more of a winter theme to them, and often wore fur hats, boots and a scarf with her dresses. She also had some resemblance to her younger sister/successor MTS-tan. but was less flashy since she didn't travel as much or get as much widespread attention.

She had a subtle sense of humor, mainly directed at her operators, referencing that if an operator's compilation under MAD failed, a line portrait of Alfred E. Neumann would be printed instead.

She was a contemporary of CTSS-tan, as they worked closely together on joint MIT/UM projects in the early 60's.
