Rule 5 Sunday: Homeko At The Beach

— compiled by Wombat-socho Sometimes Rule 5 is about sexy. Sometimes it’s about cute, and this is one of those times. Given the Japanese penchant for anthropomorphizing everything under the sun that has even vaguely human characteristics, it should be no surprise that there is a whole “family” of anthropomorphized computer operating systems, a/k/a OS-tans.
