Remember when

[hyphenate]

Many years ago, roughly 10-15 for most people, when people started using the computers for the first time, and they included solitaire and minesweeper as games with windows so that people would learn how to use a mouse more?

Doesn't it seem a lot longer than it really has to glimpse back to DOS days, or even to think about how simple both solitaire and minesweeper were in comparison to some of the games now on the market? I have to admit to some sense of wonder in how far we've come within a small scope of time in respect to the use and the familiarity we have with computers now in comparison to "then."

I'm procrastinating right now- should be studying for finals- in the study lounge, and everyone here is on their laptop playing solitaire or mind sweeper :)
Ahhh we suck.

2. I find it more amazing that in that short amount of time

our government is already talking about regulating (read censoring) portions of the Internet. I give the Internet 2 more years with the Fascists currently in office.

5. My addiction was Taipei

And I actually have a site saved that has an online Taipei game. It's almost like comfort food to play it.

6. I don't play those games on my computer

I have better things to do.
Besides, I'm really bad at them.
Everyone else in my family is addicted to spider solitaire.
