Yeah, I knew the filename would make it easy to recognise.

The exact model is a FD7, early model with the 10x zoom.



Dug out a sacrificial floppydisk for it, and couldn't have found a better specimen.

Well, given that the filenames all start "MVC-", is it a Sony Mavica? Those things are awesome!

So I got another camera.

Any guesses what it is?

IAS thinks she's stuffy and unpleasant.  She would respect her as a pioneer more if it weren't for how overwrought she can be...  Honestly, it makes me think of von Neumann and Oppenheimer.

Holy crap, yeah, that is kind of a good comparison for their dynamic.

Yeah, it's another take on the idea of humanizing computing related things, which is cool and all.  Not really OS-tan related, other than perhaps he took inspiration from OS-tans.

I'm curious what IAS-tan's feelings are toward ENIAC-heika!

ENIAC/IAS is doomed because ENIAC can't get past her loathing and IAS-sama can't find it in herself to like her.  Respect her, maybe, but not like her.

BRLESC-tan should win.  Gyaru.

ENIAC/Colossus should also win.  They're both still kind of alive, they can make it happen.

They can totally make it happen. I believe.
