Do you play solitaire while waiting for pages to load?

I do because I have a terrible dial up connection that takes forever to load pages. Anywhere from 1-5 minutes depending on what is on the page. It is sad. I know.

I hate that on the later Windows! I noticed in 98 version there is usually a pattern and once you figure that out, you can win easy, but the new ones... yeah... not!

Hi tanniebabe. Yep it's sad. I'm a very impatient man. I don't think I can live with dial up LOL! just kidding. Anyway, I'm quite lucky I have a broadband here in my place, so loading is not that slow, unless there's a problem on page. But in any case that I'm waiting, I don't play solitaire(I realized it's been so long since I last played that). If I am to play windows game, I prefer minesweeper

I really like the card games. When I get tired of solitaire, I play freecell. That is fun too. I much prefer to play my most fun games, but they take up a lot of bandwidth and bungle things up. Sometimes if I am not in a hurry, I will play Luxor Majonng (sp?) to pass the time.

When I had dial-up connection, I played solitaire while waiting for pages to load. That was a good way to pass time and frustration. Our street didn't have broadband available until recently, so I had dial-up for years. It was really frustrating when everyone was talking about broadband, dsl and cable but I was still thankful at that time and just made the most out of it. Playing solitaire is also good exercise for your brain.

I usually browse other site while one of them loading. I will open many tabs each time while browse web. MyLot will always be one of my favorite site.
