Character
Macintosh System 1, also known as Hitomi McIntosh, is one of the triplets along with her siblings Macintosh System 2 and Macintosh System 3. She shares similarities in terms of eye color and hair color with her siblings.
Hitomi's attire consists of a black (#1f1f1f) dress with long sleeves with a white (#ffffff) front panel and a black (#1f1f1f) bow at the collar, a skirt that flares out with lace trim for decoration, dark velvet (#2c2c2c) gloves with white (#ffffff) lace edges and beige (#f5deb3) laces for a corset-like look, black (#000000) shoes with chunky heels, heart-shaped buckles, decorative bows and white (#ffffff) lace socks along with a black (#1f1f1f) and grey (#808080) tiara on top of her long black (#000000) wavy-side hair. While Hitomi's mischievous nature can occasionally lead to disruptions her intentions are typically harmless. At time she can get fussy and crash, literally.
She has trouble getting to sleep unlike her siblings, could only do one thing at a time (and usually took forever doing stuff like disk copying and disk swapping), likes to clean up stuff and would write notes on what she would like to do after waking up. Her favorite games are mazes and puzzles.
Family and Relationships
Fuji and Saburo
Hitomi shares a close bond with her siblings Macintosh System 2 and Macintosh System 3. While Hitomi is known for her energetic nature, Macintosh System 2 is more shy while Macintosh System 3 possesses exceptional memory skills.
Apple Lisa
Hitomi and her siblings are the children of Apple Lisa, and they share a positive relationship with their mother. The higherups attempted to distance them from Lisa.
Wilma
Initially Hitomi held a negative perception of Wilma, viewing her as a threat to the faction. She expressed her concerns openly, often displaying rudeness and dismissiveness towards Wilma. Hitomi went as far as labeling it a "cheap imitation" and a "waste of space." However Fuji McIntosh, intervened and urged Hitomi to show more respect and understanding towards Wilma.
Abilities
Although very weak, she does have a large sledgehammer...

- Wikipedia entry on System 1.
- Her liking puzzles and mazes is a reference to the maze program on the pre-release that was a demo on the OG Mac in 1983. The puzzle comes from the Guided Tour disk.
- The Shutdown command was not added until System 2. When you were done with your computer, you just switched it off under System 1. This could sometimes result in file corruption, which prompted Apple to add the Shutdown command to System 2.
- Hitomi having a sledgehammer is a reference to the 1984 advertisement, as the woman in the advert throws a sledgehammer at the screen Big Brother is on, breaking it.
- Her getting fussy at times and crashing literally is a reference to how the tutorial disk and actual release of System 1 had different System and Finder versions. Trying to use the guided tour disk as an actual OS would result in the System crashing. There was a patched version of the System that had to be included with the tutorial disk to avoid crashing.
