Solitare Addiction

[Champ]

My friend recently got a somewhat old pc, he has no games, internet, nothing spectacular. However, he does solitare and EVERYtime I visit he is playing solitare on the computer. I get off the wall bored waiting for him to "finish up", instead he makes a mistake, starts a new game, continued. He might get off for 5 minutes if he wins game, but you will wait for hours waiting for him to win because he makes alot of obvious errors. I feel sorry for his wife, she's now married to a solitare addict :) He isn't the first case however, when I stayed the night at someone's house when I was younger. I waited 6 hours on the couch just watching someone play solitare. Anyone know any solitare addicts or are you one yourself? :)

1. for a while

I got into it for a while in 1994, just after we got our first computer with a modern windowing system. But it got old after a few months. You reach a point where you always win if the cards allow you to do so, and then what happens?

It is very easy to become addicted to solitaire...

I've been there. I liked to play it draw three/vegas style, makes it more challenging. The longer I could keep my score positive and accruing, the longer I'd play and gamble "just one more game". I'll admit I'm very good at it though!

but then I win almost all the time and so was trying to see how quick it takes me to do it.

3. A friend's mother was, and this was pre-computer.---

She would sit at the dining room table for hours on end and play Solitaire.

4. It was pre-installed on my previous computer, and it was my favorite

means of work avoidance. That job has now been taken over by DU. :-)

.. and I'm a solitair addict"

Seriously though, some times I can't stop unless I win a game. Even if it takes me 10 tries (rarely happens though).
