Hey... how come 2k-tan has those metal cat ear things on her head? What do those things represent of her character or OS?
When I saw that first, I thought it's a crown or something like that. But I have no idea what's the connection between the OS and this thing...
A crown... I guess that works too. I instantly thought... metal cat ears?
Doesn't really symbolize anything but may be part of a pun.
2K --> Ni K --> Nya K ("nya" is the Japanese sound for meowing and well... cats meow. Also worth noting is that "ni" becomes "nya" with the addition of a small "ya" kana next to it)
Well that explains it. Jeez... freakin' weirdo Japanese.
I donno, they are the random mecha bits that OS may have? There is a picture out there where ME and XP are listening to a PC speaker each, and 2K had one of those off her head and she was listening to it the same way... so maybe they are PC speakers?
It's funny that her cat ears double as speakers because ears generally take in sound, as opposed to taking out sound like speakers do! ^^
Well if they are speakers... it's kind of weird that none of the other OS's have speaker-ears.
I guess that's what makes 2K-tan unique
Her glasses and blue hair with her strangely skimpy bikini-ish outfit makes her unique. I mean... shouldn't all of them have speakers?
That is just a theory.. but no, they shouldnt. The cat ear one is the best example, but it seems one artist thought they were speakers, or it reminded him of speakers
How, odd. They do make her cute, but I still find them highly odd.
It wasn't important to me so I just assumed they were
Microwave emitters.
For the perimeter intrusion detector.
Maybe.
I think originally Win2k-tan shared the cat ears with her 'educator'/'foster parent' WinNT-tan. ^^ NT-san's given up her ears later, though.
Well, wouldn't bet my money on that, but that's how I've always thought it. :D
QUIET PITKIN!! THEY WILL HEAR YOU!!
Pay no attention to him, he has no idea what he is talking about. NT never had any on her head... NEVER. Only in some bizar weird deja vu worl may he have had something like that...
T_T right pitkin?
*notices the gun barrel pressed against his back*
Maybe Captain's right... yes, indeed. NT-san never had anything to do with the ears. Nothing. ^^;;;
*flees for the exit*
That's right- "they" cannot be mentioned!
DEJA--
*shot*
Radar? XD
I don't really care what they're for though, 2k-sama's most unique trait needs no explanation ^^
lol, radar and microwaves
They represent nothing. Maybe some pun, but they're just cat ears disguised as speakers (plain cat ears on an OS would look just weird...). Nekomimi characters are really common, so I guess that'd be the most suitable explanation.
............................ We're talking about what now....? ^___^;
...............Yeah, I'd settle for Aurora's first explanation (which Darknight reiterated), given how big puns are with the canon OS-tans.
Need I remind everyone about the whole thing with scallions..... ^^;
BTW, Darknight,... since you ditched your 95-tan avi in favor of that cute one, can I start slugging dart at 95-tan again? ^___^;
ooh presliced bacon! :D saves me the trouble!
they do love thier puns -_-

mmmm....delicious sliced bacon, I must eat it
:D
*slash*
*Squealing*
I always thought they were like Chii robot ears or something of the like.
*applies crazy glue to put himself back together*
Well not quite, Chii's "ears" are actually a replacement for her real ears. 2K-tan does have her real ears in place, and simply has the mechanical cat ears on top as an adornment. ^__^
Incidentally, there are OS-tans with real cat ears in case you're interested (mainly the Mac OSX girls, though).
Or rare reditions of a doskitty girl
Bleh! Mac-tans! *hides in a corner and hisses at them*
See that C-Chan, In your face! YOUR FACE!!
We need more traditional MS OS users around here.
Don't let em eat meh!
nonono you got it wroung.. you eat apples.. not worry about them eating you.
