Solitaire and Minesweeper...
Apologies if this has been done earlier but i had to come clean to my addiction and I know I'm not alone.

To date, since getting my shiny new laptop last christmas, Vista claims that I have played nearly 8,000 games of solitaire over the year - working out to about 21 games per day. Needless to say, I've played a lot.

My A-levels suffered because of this in the summer and I didnt revise nearly enough as I could have due to me playing that magical, wonderful, distracting game. My degree will probably start to go the same way; the constant distraction of the game calling me in, stopping me writing my essays.

Minesweeper is the same. I feel a strange moral obligation to clear as many "fields" from mines as possible so that the little people in computer world can play safely without threat of being blown up.

This is a real addiction with no real way of getting out of the habit. Stop using my computer, my work will suffer. Continue using my computer I will get distracted by the games and my work will suffer. It's the worst catch 22 situation ever.

Im considering setting up my own support group. Anyone care to join?

and then get your family to place numbers and mines down, then turf it back up for you to dig up again.

If you're addicted to Vista Solitaire...
I beg you, please, please do not investigate Mah Jongg out of curiosity. Just don't.
