OSFirstTimer Format

The OSFT Operating System Exploration Format (OSEF) is the format of the basic OSFirstTimer show. With the release of the OSFirstTimer Advanced, this format is not used as often.

Format

The official format goes like this:

• What time is it?
• Write, open, save, and delete a text document.
• Calculate X (operator) Y.
• Change the desktop background.
• Explore the system on your own.
• Shut down the OS.

Edits

This format has changed over the course of the show. Here are some of the changes:

Write, open, save, and delete a text document.

The original task was to write, open, and save a text document. However, the OSEF became a universal format for sons to have their mothers try out operating systems. Because of these "clones", it was changed to write, open, save, and delete a text document.

Calculate X (operator) Y.

This constantly changes within OSFirstTimer. To simplify the task name, we write it as X (operator) Y. It means X +, -, *, or / Y.
