Freecell is waaaaay too complicated for me. I’ll stick with plain old Solitaire and solving the secrets of the universe. Oh yes, and FReep in my spare time.

You are obviously not familiar with Yahoo chat. It was a complete zoo with no-holds-barred, complete flame wars, etc. There were no moderators. It was real-time chat, not like FR forum. It was a lot of fun to stir the natives up!

They would argue, threaten, etc. Those times are making me laugh right now! ;-)

You’re right that I don’t know Yahoo chat.
But I am a veteran of the Usenet wars.
Possibly Yahoo is so massively populated
no relationships are formed, so looking
stupid doesn’t matter.

I played indifferently for years, but finally I said "This is ridiculous," reset the game-count to 0 and began again, determined to win every game. I'm up to 8,800 now, and lately I notice they're getting much easier--I'm becoming more skillful and intuitive, although it's still challenging enough to be diverting. I'm 68 and have read that such exercises are helpful in counteracting ageing.

I find that the trick to the most difficult games is to try some unusual methods that aren't normally needed.

I love Freecell! It’s totally addictive. I play it almost every day — that and Pyramid.

When I think Freecell, I think Windows '95!

I played it a lot during the mid 1990s. It's been a good 20 years since I last played it.

Yahoo chat shut down several years ago because it got way out of hand and Yahoo did not want to invest in moderators. Even if there had been moderators just about everyone would have been banned. ROFL

I’ve seen multiple references to this game number and that game number. Game number??? I assumed/thought the cards were randomly dealt after the computer shuffled them!!!! NO????

There is a FIXED set of arranged cards for the for the for the?????? There is a set of games all computers know about and access. Or know about and are stored in each game. 2 terabytes of data?????? I’m lost #$$%^&*%^&$%*&^....
