===DEC Military years=== | |||
Rainbow 100-tan was the sole home computer among the DEC Military, and was created to establish a foothold for them in the home computer market. She was also created with three different modes allowing her to achieve different roles. She served as a cadet under VMS-tan's division, but was also the ambassador of the DEC Military to the Microsoft-IBM Family in the 1980's. Her MS-DOS mode was used for her ambassador role, but she was not very good at maintaining it. | |||
She had an identity crisis since she was meant to be a home computer, but also competed in the business markets, where her main competitors were MS-DOS-tan, PC-DOS-tan, and [[Apple II | Apple II-tan]]. She tried to follow the industry standards created by MS-DOS and PC-DOS, but did not completely follow them, and her attempt at a compromise did not work. | |||
Her campaigns gained little territory for DEC. She could not lead them confidently, and she never got promoted past the cadet rank. Her service ended in 1985, but she remained with the DEC-tans in civilian roles as a teacher and an engineer. | |||
===Post-DEC=== | |||
After the DEC Military disbanded in 1998, she was briefly part of the Compaq faction, and then was a wanderer afterwards. She was an early recruit into the Confederation of Independent OS-tans, but eventually left to be a wanderer. | |||
