A useless achievement!
The first time I had a job where I could work at home, I had to uninstall all of Window 98's pre-installed games, because they really are tremendous time-wasters. Everytime I got bored trying to optimize a mediocre web page for Altavista, I'd end up playing Solitaire or Minesweeper. Those games were just bad for me.
I ended up reinstalling the games when I moved back to Michigan, mostly because I don't have a high-speed Internet connection. I've found that a quick game of beginner's Minesweeper takes just about as long at it takes an overloaded webpage to render at 56K. I've actually gotten pretty good at the game, to the point that I didn't think I could do any better, but I was just playing a few minutes ago, and beat my record without even really trying:
Sadly, that's probably the biggest thing I've accomplished this week.
