OS-tan Talk / Re: More IBM-tans III: The One...

Last post by stewartsage - November 20, 2025, 10:59:52 PM

It has occurred to me re-reading your SAGE-tan writings how much SAGE & GENIAC-chan parallel Whirlwind and Harvard Mark I-tan. Which is to say, now I'm considering Harvard Mark 1-tan and SAGE-chan interactions.

I can't imagine she had the patience to deal with Mark 1-tan as a kid.

On a different note, after I finish up the early "EDVAC family" computer-tans, I would like to rework / polish / finish up the PDP-tans. PDP-1, -8 and -11 are pretty good as-is, but PDP-7, -10 and -12 need work.

I may also take a shot at -tanning the predecessors/follow-ups to better known models. PDP-4, -9 and -15 in the PDP-1 family, PDP-5 in the LINC/PDP-8 family, and PDP-6 as PDP-10-tan's older sister ... I'm still on the fence about splitting off DECSYSTEM-20 into its own personification, or rolling it into PDP-10's.

There's also the matter of the industrial controller PDPs (-14 and -16), which don't have a lot of flavor but I would like to tackle for the sake of completionism...

Stew, didn't you say you would design a VAX-tan?

That's quite the project.  There is a lot of DEC hardware you could tackle if you let it get out of control.  If you can't find anything really gripping about the industrial ones, don't bother just to check a box.

PDP-5 went to sea with the Coast Guard, which the regular wiki article on it is very fixated on.

No, but I guess I could do something for what would be the other LINC/PDP-8 kids.  If you're doing -5, that would leave -12 and LINC/8, if it was worth separating into another distinct -tan.

I like all the early British -tans you've designed!  The other Mark 1-tan might be my favorite, I do love a disheveled egomaniac!

SAGE-tan strikes me as one of those stereotypical hot-blooded, smart-mouthed, nuclear trigger-happy yet overly-idealistic American generals from the 1950's, with just a touch of "eggheadness" (like the NASA engineers from 'Apollo 13').

Happy 18th Anniversary SAGE-tan!

Had a urge to do sword fighting motion studies with VMS-tan.

Obligatory "starting the bottle of soju"/"finishing the bottle of soju" meme with these two pics.


The little dance is so ... mesmerizingly ...cute!! Enough to get me in the holiday spirit. ^^

And the second, well. 0///0
I adore her floppy ears here, lop-ear bunnygirls are criminally underrated.

OS-tan Talk / Re: komepo and komelu?

I don't play mugenl, but this is an interesting find. I imagine the person who created this character must've taken inspiration from the design of xp-tan or komepo.
