Just when I thought that Microsoft had ironed out the small bugs out of Windows XP, this happens - see the picture on the left.Yesterday, having some free time, I decided to play a game or two of solitaire. It must have been the third or fourth game when all of a sudden I found myself asking, "What the heck?". I double clicked on the Ace of Spades... nothing. Tried right clicking... nothing. Then I looked at the four suit stacks, and there it was... a bug in solitaire.
The first thought that went through my mind was, "No way! After all this time... how?" Solitaire is an old game and has been part of the Windows OS for over 10 years. How can a bug exist in a simple game such as solitaire after 10 years?
Now it is possible that something in my system went haywire. If so, it would be a first - as my system has been stable, and running well since day one - and continues to do so. What's more, afterwards, I continued playing solitaire as normal. Therefore I must
assume what happened was due to a bug in solitaire. Not a big deal, though surely interesting.
