Mac OS1
Macintosh System 1-tan represents the first of the OSes with a full-fledged GUI from Apple that runs on the Macintosh series of computers and she is represented as a small girl with a height of 4'1 [125 cm] who likes 1980's fashion, commonly dressed in a grey minidress with black biker shorts and shoes, white leg warmers, wears a necklace with the Happy Mac icon on it and wears her hair in a wavy side ponytail. She is a very feisty-natured nonconformist and revolutionary with a lot of leadership and charisma although very limited in memory and attention span and 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.

She is a nonconformist and a revolutionary and 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 speaks in Newspeak (also a 1984 reference) which relates to that. She is 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.
