package self_guided;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MeadOS_Alpha {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		System.out.println("TO BOOT MEADOS, ENTER THE NAME OF THE BEST OPERATING SYSTEM");
		String answer = scan.nextLine();
		
		if(answer == "MeadOS") {
			System.out.println("YOU MAY NOW BOOT MEADOS");
		}
		else {
			System.out.println("INCORRECT.");
			System.out.println("SHUTTING DOWN MEADOS...");
		}

	}
