Description
Macintosh System 2-tan looks a lot like System 1-tan but has two straight ponytails on one side, wears a sash over her dress, and wears long socks instead of leg warmers and has a height of 4'2 [127 cm] and their personalities very different.
System 2-tan is observant, witty, very intelligent and a little conservative-minded. She is also more calm and stable as a main difference from her predecessor is increased stability and the Shut Down and New Folder commands were introduced as well as the Minifinder (the first form of 'multitasking' that at least allowed for convenient access to other applications to make switching from one to another much quicker). She carries a Newspeak-to-Oldspeak dictionary with her and carries a duck puppet (as sort of a visual pun on Duckspeak) and is fluent in Newspeak, Oldspeak and Duckspeak. She likes to give lectures and also uses her duck puppet to keep things interesting and prevent attendants from falling asleep. She gets along best with Apple II-tan, Macintosh System 1-tan, Mac OSX Panther-tan and Mac OS X Leopard-tan.
Despite being generally calm and content, she is prone to outbursts of insanity. And although highly intelligent, she is very misunderstood with not much attention paid to her and few believing what she says- even if it is good advice. This reflects how Macintosh System 2 is one of the most obscure and least used Mac OSes, supported only on the first two Macintosh models (the 128k and 512k) which could easily upgraded to the more popular Macintosh System 3. These same two Macs also support System 1 which may actually be used less than System 2 but has a legacy for being the first and having a history.
