I play online solitaire. Besetting sin. (Hereditary besetting sin. My grandfather and my mother and my aunt and my younger brother were/ are all solitaire fiends. The online part that means you never have to shuffle a deck is just a godsend.) There are ads, of course, including fund-raising ones for memorial Olympic coffee mugs.

Can't get over the blurb that goes 'Roll over to support our teams!'

Such wanton players. ;)

How does online solitaire differ from solitaire on the computer, advertisements aside? o.o

More games, basically. I play something called Addiction Solitaire, a testament to truth in advertising, which WinXP doesn't provide. Colours are better than MS's as well. Many of these games are buyable, except I think they have a limit set on them so you'll buy more. Did try a DLable version of addiction, but the cards weren't marked in the same way and it was actually harder to play than the online version.

Card-playing? I don't do any card games except solitaire, being congenitally incapable of remembering the rules of any group game, including Go Fish.

some variants of solitaire (iirc) have pretty complicated rules too...

Is why I stick to the two I know. The learning curve for something like Spider is too steep for my little brane.
