Thanks Goujer. Honestly I've been tagging to hit the 10 general tag rule enforced by 'booru. Once I hit that I tend to stop, but sometimes I feel like I have to pad my tags to hit that. -_-

Putting this out as kind of a PSA.
No one is in trouble.

When tagging on the gallery you do not need to tag EVERYTHING.
We have a bit of an over-tagging problem.
When tagging make sure you think about what people who are search are typing in. The exact color of thigh boots for example can be narrowed down fairly well by tagging "green_boots" and "thigh boots".

In 90% of situations we do follow Danbooru's tags, so if you are making a new tag think "Does this tag exist on Danbooru?" and "Is this tag going to help people searching for this image find this image easier?"

Hello! I'm Lily and I love OS-tans!
I've discovered OS-tan by pure coincidence, I was once bored and I typed on Google images "Windows 7 anime" and I found Madobe Nanami images, then I typed either "Windows ME anime" or "Windows XP anime" (idk what was first) and I discovered ME-tan and XP-tan (Saseko). I was like "OMG HERE'S A WHOLE FRANCHISE ABOUT OSES AS ANIME?!?! =D" and since then, I've been a huge fan of OS-tans.

I also like also sharing my knowledge about OS-tan to other OS-tans sites, like this one.

Hope I'm welcome!

Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here!

Welcome, Lily! I've seen your art on Tumblr, it's good to have you here! Please feel free to post in the creative thread, or make your own thread in the OS-tan fanworks subforum if you'd like. ^_^

Ladies!  Mark III or SSEC may be my favorite designs, but Mark IV has my heart.  Poor outcast electronic sister.

It occurred to me at some point that Harvard Mark III may just be the asexual Houshou Marine. Everyone loves SSEC! (Excluding Harvard Mark I)

Harvard Mark IV is like if you taught a Shaker about aeronautical engineering. Certainly the weirdest addition to the Mark lineup, and the Greater Boston USAF Computer Cinematic universe. At least until I tackle MADDIDA or CADAC or whatever it is she goes by.

Speaking of which: Memory Test Computer!

MTC is the modified clone of, and purpose-built companion/support to, Whirlwind. She's essentially a scaled down Whirlwind, filled out and healthier compared to her (initially) perpetually-sickly mistress. Her personality is similar to Whirlwind's but more service-oriented and nurturing, especially toward Whirlwind, the object of her fixation.

Her gray dress is meant to be reminiscent of a nurses' or maid's uniform, and is outwardly plain. However, beneath its shell is a slip with colorful pleats, representing the different DEC PDP models (referring to MTC's role as forerunner to DEC). Like the computer itself, she looks unassuming but contains hidden potential.

Her hair is a blend of colors but looks gold-ginger at a distance. Her hairbow and gloves consist of fine netting, referring to the woven mesh of core memory.

She didn't live as long as Whirlwind, her heart eventually replacing Whirlwind's original, failing heart. (Representing MTC's core memory which replaced Whirlwind's faulty electrostatic memory.) She is the second "parent" of SAGE, PDP-1, and the rest of the PDP line, all of whom reflect aspects of both her and Whirlwind.

Maybe minidress Multics is a box better left unopened.

Untrue entirely.

Continuing my redeuxs, SSEC-tan, and Harvard Marks II, III & IV, the NYC socialite, automaton naval ordnance experts and real living girl/neoshaker of the Aiken Computer Expanded Universe.

Ladies!  Mark III or SSEC may be my favorite designs, but Mark IV has my heart.  Poor outcast electronic sister.

Figured the D.C. adjacent ladies should get a day out seeing the cherry blossoms. ^_^

Not a great year for it.  At least SEAC brought a camera.  Love the colors and the perspective.  IAS-sama's hair rocks!

RISC OS for TDOV!

Perfect.
