“What are you, nuts?” Nick Lee writes for Tendigi Insights via Medium. “Pretty much. I was born in the nineties, and the first personal computer my family bought (a $3000 screamer with a 300 MHz Pentium II, 256 MB of RAM, and the optional Boston Acoustics speaker system) ran Windows 95.”
MacDailyNews Take: Poor bastage.
“But how?” Lee writes. “Long story short, it’s possible to patch certain files within a WatchKit app to load your own application code rather than Apple’s.”
Lee writes, “Due to the fact that it is emulated (not virtualized), it takes about an hour to boot.”
“With a 520 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage, the Apple Watch packs a lot of computing horsepower into a very small package,” Lee writes via YouTube. “On paper, its processor alone is about twenty-five times faster than the average 386, and 512 MB was the size of a hard drive in the mid nineties, not memory.

Wow that’s pretty good, runs almost as fast of the original Windoze 95.
Queing up Weird Al in …
As Shatner would say, “Get a Life!” Windows 95?!?

So, just like actual Windows… 🙂
Is this akin to child pornography? Just wondering.
Oh, I’m sorry. I’m reminded that this is more akin to the child sex slave trade. – – The video is painful to watch. I had to stop half-way through. An obscenity.
You are getting down votes for joking about Windows 95.
Too soon, man, too soon.
I’m getting down votes for humor and poignancy? That’s all in day’s posting for me. 😉
I’m betting the U.S. Armed Forces are very interested in this. Seeing as how they still run 95 all over the place.
