What _did_ Solitaire do for Windows 3.1? Distract the attention of the unwashed masses away from the actual merits of the beast?
It's interesting to note that a) All previous versions of MS Windows starting I think with the beta .9 which I first saw included Reversi (Othello), a much more intellectual game. b) IBM OS/2 comes with a pile of games, including a much nicer solitaire, chess, a game where you have to catch a cat with your mouse, etc. Ostensibly, they're there to train users to use the mouse interface. E.g., Solitaire teaches users to drag and drop. --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
