Network World Fusion 09/14/04

For some reason, online Japanese artists have created big-eyed little-girl personas for desktop operating systems:

...2003 Server is often portrayed as being half-girl, half-fish, with an ethernet hub as a bonnet on her head. Other versions show her as a girl with a short white skirt and a vest-style top with a long tail in the back (usually with a bow) and Windows four-square logo pins in the bow at her neck and on the tail. In some forms, she has a belt made from ethernet cable wrapped around her waist. Saba is a pun, as it is both the literal sound of "Server" in Japanese, and the word for mackerel, as well. ...

But beware the evil Dr. Norton:

Doctor Norton, an unspeakably horny old doctor, personifies the Symantec Norton Antivirus software. While an ingenious physician, he is infamously known to request (and attempt) the total undressing of an OS-tan for a full physical inspection, even when they're completely healthy. The doctor's lust has no bounds, and his morality is void.
