She was created as purely hardware-based at first, since there were no OSes in existence when she was created. Her culture and upbringing were isolated, even by her contemporaries' standards then, but she quickly became well-known when her calculations were shown to correctly predict important outcomes -referencing the UNIVAC I correctly predicting the 1952 US election-. In 1962, she was cybernetically enhanced to become a hardware-OS hybrid, and changed her name to reflect this transformation. | She was created as purely hardware-based at first, since there were no OSes in existence when she was created.

EXEC was in service for close to 35 years before being discontinued. She has a much more advanced descendant, [[wikipedia:Unisys_OS_2200_operating_system | OS 2200]], who was born circa 1967. She was jealous of her descendant for not having the technical constraints she has, but over time they got along.

She was jealous of her descendant for not having the technical constraints she has, but over time they got along. Her mandatory retirement came in 1986, when OS2200-tan relocated her to an isolated tower to be looked after by a few caregivers, because as oppressive as that was, OS2200-tan her staff didn't want EXEC-tan to suffer as a wanderer or death due to obsolescence, and still believed she was socially superior to those minicomputer and home computer-tans, so she was not to mingle with them. | ||
During the next nearly 20 years, during that time many major events including the deaths of some of her colleagues, the Unix Wars, the OS Wars, and founding of the Binteeji Renmei all passed her by. But she wasn't totally isolated from other computer-tans, since occasionally she was able to meet several of the 'lesser' computer-tans and invited them over in secrecy. This went on for years before getting caught. At first, her staff of caregivers were disappointed or outraged that EXEC was breaking a major social rule, but seeing that she was happier with her friends, her staff let her go with them and join the Binteeji Renmei. | During the next nearly 20 years, during that time many major events including the deaths of some of her colleagues, the Unix Wars, the OS Wars, and founding of the Binteeji Renmei all passed her by.
