Family & History
She has both Australian and Croatian ancestory. Her mother came from Dubrovnik, Croatia. Both her parents and her brother (and only sibling) have passed away, making her closest relatives by blood, excluding her own children, no longer alive. She also has a cousin named Zoran, but it is not known whether he is alive or not.
Diana's first proper interactions with a computer was at her eleventh school year (in 1989), where she programmed with a Tandy TRS-80 computer which had most likely 64 KiB of RAM. Those 64 KiB RAM were later remembered incorrectly by her as her first computer being 64-bit in terms of computer processor architecture, which was impossible to achieve building and manufacturing at that time. The programming language she was learning to use on that computer was BASIC. Since then, she hasn't been using computers for several years. With the start of her job as an accountant, she also started to use computers again, being introduced to Windows XP and Microsoft Office (mostly Word and Excel).
She has been married to Ben since October 3rd, 1992, and has two children, Philip and Jasmine.
Diana currently has mice, chickens (normal and silky ones) and sheep as pets, and in the past, she had guinea pigs and budgies as pets.
Progression
During the first episodes of OSFirstTimer, Diana was (as said herself) very computer illiterate due to only ever using the outdated Windows XP on an old Toshiba laptop. However, over time she began to understand operating systems and their user interfaces and even had her laptop dual booted to use Elementary OS and eventually upgraded to Windows 8.1 when she got an Alienware 14 as her new laptop. As of now, she is no longer using the Alienware 14 and uses the newer Lenovo Yoga 910 as her main laptop instead, due to the Alienware laptop being heavy and uncomfortable when placed on her legs. Her Alienware 14 was passed down to her husband Ben and replaced his former 2009 Macbook (which he has passed on to his brother Matthew). Ben now uses Android as his main and has passed the Alienware 14 to Jasmine.
