This is all very lovely but I still don't understand how you were aided by an Irish river.

That's Mr Shannon to you!

Why would I call a river "Mr"?

Developer Gets Apple Watch to Run Windows 95 - Mac Rumors[^]
I will never forget the first time I saw Windows 95 which was when I was active duty on the USS Carl Vinson. The ship was running Windows 3.1 at the time and this new machine was setup and it was crazy cool but I think we did have to constantly reboot it until the patches caught up if I remember right.
I found the steps he took here[^]
Here’s an outline of the steps involved:
-Copy symbols and headers from Xcode’s iphoneOS and iphoneSimulator platforms to the watchOS and watchSimulator platforms, respectively.
-Build your “normal” UIKit-based iOS app inside a framework, rather than in your WatchKit extension.
-Use install_name_tool to point your WatchKit app’s _WatchKitStub/WK binary to your framework instead of SockPuppetGizmo. SockPuppetGizmo is the framework that (to my knowledge) runs WatchKit and interacts with normal WatchKit extensions that developers write.
-Jury-rig the iOS port of the Bochs x86 emulator into your framework. “Easy!” “How hard can it be?” read: Pretty hard. In my case, Xcode crashed whenever I tried to use lldb. Your mileage may vary.
-Copy a Windows 95 disk image in to your app’s bundle, write the config file, and boot ‘er up.
-*Optional: hot glue a motor to the watch’s crown to keep it from falling asleep.

Yes! Due to the fact that it is emulated (not virtualized), it takes about an hour to boot.

Good things come to those who wait.

And then the watch immediately tried to upgrade itself to windows 10

My only question is: Why?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Information (contained in word) much older on a scale

Nah... Word was only released in 1983!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I think my wife fed me a stupid pill again this morning, but I don't get your post? 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Let me help you understand.
Griff simply said Word (the Microsoft product) was released in 1983.
The joke is that Mandeep was referring to actual words (like "cat" and "peanut").
And Mandeep was trying to say information was here long before "The father of Information Technology", in which Mandeep fails to understand that Shannon was the father of Information Technology, not just Information.
All in all a pretty funny play on words (hah!) 
I don't know what pills you've been on, but luckily the internet is a friendly place with nice people who are willing to help without making you feel stupid

Thanks for clarifying. Griff's post was somewhat obscure. I don't feel so stupid anymore!

I think we must be on different Internets.

My thoughts exactly, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. It wouldn't be appropriate for the friendly Internet!

Or we're on the same and I'm just being sarcastic

Shannon was the father of Information Theory, not technology, there's a huge difference.
As an Electrical Engineer I had to study his equations, and his theory was the cornerstone of modern thinking about information, close to E=MC2's impact in physics, and led to everything we're doing now!
His theory opened the door to satellite communications and any form of digital communication that occurs, giving us a full understand of the properties of the communication channel.
Good explanation here: Information theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]

There is also an awesome book by James Gleick called "The Information". A recommended read for everyone involved in information sciences. Shannon plays a huge role in it, of course.

Yeah, I misspoke/typed.
I failed his subject three times at University
