OS-tan Talk / Re: More IBM-tans III: The One...
Last post by stewartsage - July 09, 2025, 10:00:02 PMQuote from: Bella on July 09, 2025, 09:45:17 PMOh, yes! I remember Hal mentioning this!I missed that! Whoops ><
You've got to find me some pics of 90s MBTA conductor uniforms ... for reasons. ^___^
The answer for earlier usage seems to be they bought two IBM System 360 Model 40s for engineering and administrative work in the mid-60s, and a General Automation 18/30 was the first to computerize operations on the MBTA with improvements to the Green Line trolleys in 1974. So that would be DOS/360-tan and DBOS-tan who I unceremoniously cancelled working on six years ago in the first post of this thread.

Last post by stewartsage - July 09, 2025, 09:18:06 PMQuote from: Bella on July 08, 2025, 11:55:53 PMOkay, now I want to imagine Whirlwind-tan going through a rebellious teen period after she got kicked out (??) of the WAVES but before she became an air force consultant, or whatever her job description was (*adds to list of questions*),Okay now you have to at least sketch that.and not *just* because it'd give me a reason to draw her as a sukeban.
Then I did my job. ^__^
Quote from: Bella on July 08, 2025, 11:55:53 PMPoor ENIAC-tan, imagine having to deal with IAS-tan's shenanigans for the next 80 years with no end in sight. And the shenanigans of her billions of grandkids. Plus a few more soon, hopefully!Their struggle will be eternal!
Quote from: Bella on July 08, 2025, 11:55:53 PMI'm implying that now that Whirlwind-tan is alive ("alive"?) she can kill SAGE-tan. Presumably by showing her the undivided love and attention she's been after for the last 70 years, obliterating her on the spot from sheer overjoy.She'd never disappoint her mom like that.

Last post by CaptBrenden - July 09, 2025, 05:42:42 PMOh trust me.. there are.. problems. Like, being a foodie the.. selection of places to eat out here are terrible. Mostly variations on the same standard family diner specials or the same mundanes food chains.Man.. I miss Popeyes, or Sonic, Raising Canes, Pot Belly, etc
.. we have a Mcdonalds, and a Dairy Queen. half an hour either direction to get say.. kfc, or Arbys. and those are the 'exciting' options. My only savior in fast food is we have a Culvers nearby.
Access to certain box stores too is an issue. I took for granted some of the ones that in any major population center it would likely be 5 minutes down the road in either direction. Your options are.. Walmart.
So.. Peace and Quiet and affordable house, but the cost is convenience and variety.

Last post by Bella - July 09, 2025, 09:50:50 AMI'm also curious what the MBTA computerization effort looked like!
I look forward to more LGP-30-tan lore! And additional IAS-tans, I knew we didn't find them all. (Speaking of which, did you ever think about making a FLAC-tan? I took a stab at a design but it was very meh.)
"JCR Licklider here..."
Those are both getting added to the next sketch page.

Quote from: stewartsage on July 08, 2025, 08:13:15 PMI've come to the conclusion that DEC and CDC are spectacularly competent with their businesses compared to BBN, who may just be the Apperture Science of Massachusetts computer companies.

How much do I need to pay you for Selectric-kun "The wrong OS-tan in the right place can make all the difference." mode?
Those are both getting added to the next sketch page.

Last post by Bella - July 09, 2025, 09:44:25 AMGlad you found a place you enjoy Capt'!
I enjoy it, minus the traffic & costs... I think living in the city has spoiled me, I dunno I can go back to the countryside. T_T
