Technical details
WAITS is an OS developed by Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, is a heavily-modified variant of TOPS-10 and was designed for the SAIL mainframe computers. Contrary to what many say, WAITS 'acronym' does not stand for anything. WAITS was released Jun 6 1966 and the last system was shut down in the early 1990's.
Character details
WAITS-tan is represented as a hippie woman with long brown hair, green eyes and wears wild outfits that look like a cross between Victorian-era fashion and 1960's fashion. Her outfits are in light yellow with blue trim, the color scheme of the SAIL computers. She was TOPS-10-tan's daughter and ITS-tan's step sister. She was close friends with ITS | ITS-tan and Emacs-kun and strongly disliked the Unices. WAITS-tan passed away in the early 1990's.
WAITS-tan was an accomplished professional and genius in the fields of mathematics, language and music but also progressive-thinking, witty, free-loving and lived with a great zest for life with a love of debauchery. She was a rebel in her youth, shunning the stuffy ideals of most OS-tans in the 1960s and her fashion sense was deemed outrageous for the time.
