The Macintosh project was started in late 1979 and was originally intended to be a low cost home computer, but instead took after the Lisa, Apple's first computer with a GUI, which was in turn modeled after (with permission) Xerox's Star computer and [[PilotOS]]. Both the Lisa and the Mac were made for businesses, but the Mac initially sold for 1/4 the cost of the Lisa, and was the first commercially-successful OS with a GUI. | The Macintosh project was started in late 1979 and was originally intended to be a low cost home computer, but instead took after the Lisa, Apple's first computer with a GUI, which was in turn modeled after (with permission) Xerox's Star computer and [[PilotOS]].

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_1 Macintosh System 1] is the first Mac OS version, released along with the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984, and also shipped with the Macintosh 512K which was released later in 1984. System 1 cannot multitask due to the limited amount of RAM, but is able to run Desk Accessories, small programs that can run while an application is running. | |||

Her outfits are in black, white and grey since the original Macintosh was 1-bit monochrome, but her outfits also decorated with colorful accessories, which references the colorful, abstract box art of the earliest Macs. She wears a necklace with the Happy Mac icon on it. | ||
She is energetic, charismatic, and is always trying to be helpful, but is also scatterbrained and has a one-track mind. She struggles with some tasks, but is resourceful, and willing to push herself to her limits to get them done. She is cheerful, but had lived in fear a lot in the past, and is more easygoing and laid-back now. | |||
Her weapon of choice is a large hammer, which she wields a reference to the 1984 Macintosh commercial. She can wield error bombs, but prefers to wield her hammer. Despite being friendly and straightforward, a lot of people found her to be intimidating, for being too straightfoward and simple. She mainly speaks in Newspeak as another 1984 reference, but it is also to conserve her memory. | |||
She likes writing and graphic design, owing to the original Macintosh's role in desktop publishing, though she likes working with pictures more, referencing the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_1#Desk_accessories deliberate lack of text used in the Control Panel of System 1]. | |||

She is mostly retired, and has been for years, but wants to help out in any way she can, and to continue to be a role model. She has not been able to keep up with the later generations of Mac-tans very much, but they can still appreciate her efforts in trying to help. | |||

She largely ignored the other home computer-tans, such as the Atari and Commodore-tans, since the Macintosh was well above the typical home computer price range. | ||
She | She had long-lasting rivalries with most of the DOS-tans, especially [[PC-DOS | PC-DOS-tan]] and [[MS-DOS | MS-DOS-tan]]. She and PC-DOS-tan still have a rivalry although it is toned down from what it used to be; System 1-tan likes to poke fun at PC-DOS-tan for being so uptight. Their rivalries, are still reasonably civil, just like in the pre-OS Wars days. She is friends with [[QDOS | QDOS-tan]] because she was never a competitor, and she sympathized with QDOS-tan's abandonment. | ||
