I'm not quite sure what the hell is wrong with me, shedding tears over something this silly but ...

Basically, one of the OS-tans was getting replaced by a newer model.  It was pretty long, a good size paragraph or so, it felt like a goodbye speech.  At the end, she request that you not throw away her disk cause part of her is still inside it.

The whole thing's really silly but I still felt alittle touched by it for some reason.

I google'd around and the only thing I found was this youtube video.

The translations in the comments was in part of the passage I'm looking for.  Hopefully, this will ring a bell to somebody here.  Thanks in advance.

hello there

I think you're looking for this picture:

Indeed, is somewhat sad. Makes you think twice before replacing your OS  o_o

Yo Jay.  -v-

That is a very nice video.  ^__^
I wonder if that's also in reference to the fact that M$ pulled the plug on her not too long ago.  ME-tan is still around and will certainly have a future thanks to an army of nostalgic OS-tan fans; but as far as Microsoft is concerned, she's abandonware and as good as dead, and they'd like to keep it that way the bastards.... -v-

IBM did the same crap too with OS/2 this past December, even at the behest of thousands of hard-working and loyal OS/2 users.  Perhaps the worst thing about proprietary software is that, once the company decides to pull the plug, the plug is pulled for good,....  -v-

that was a good read...

*sob* it's so sad..
ME-tan!!!!

My my, aren't you lovely~

Many thanks, Darknight_88, for the picture.  Also thanks for the quick replies, everyone.

There's also a second similar pic, also equally sad, if not even more so:

*Sob* not another one...

Good thing ME will live on in our hearts forever
My my, aren't you lovely~

Aaaah, just install her on a machine and keep using her.....  -v-

You'd be surprised how many people still boot up their Commodore 64's, and mod them to death till they're able to play modern DVDs and access the internet.....  ^.^

I don't see why ME couldn't have such a cult following 10 or 20 years down the line.  -v-

Personally, I think ME-tan is the cutest :3

It's so sad that she's useless.

Then I'm the only one who didn't have serious problems with ME?
First I used 98, then ME, and finally, XP. And if my memory doesn't trick me, my 98 does more trouble to me than my ME. I don't say ME is useless , because she is not useless! Sometimes she fails at things, but not useless!

Bella

Those are so sad :(
*talks to computer* I'll never fall for that Vista thing! You're staying an XP!

Exa, I never used ME...but I do remember tons of trouble with 98, too...

C-Chan

Speaking of XP, M$ seems about ready to pull a Wnidows ME on poor XP....  -v-'

I thought it was suppsoed to be 2009, but I guess they want their money from Vista NOW rather than later.  -.-'

Well, MS has a reason not to care about its customers wishes: They are IDS because Vista doesn't exactly sell well. And look at their advertisements: they are getting more and more desperate ("They have compared us to Linux") :)

They're phasing out Windows XP when it's still going strong?! They're awfully desperate to get sales from Vista! -_-

I know plenty of people who are still sticking with XP and not 'upgrading'!
