Hi, OK, I have a small problems, and even though I've acted in the past like I know a thing or two, in this case I'm totally at a loss.
Basically, I need a Freecell clone. A good one. History: I have a wife and five kids who use the family computers quite a lot. After our zillionth rebuild of WindowsWE (aka Windows WhatEver...), I said: hey, what if I switched the family to iMacs and such, and then they could know the joy of Macintosh that I have known all these years. I could stop spending my life running AdAware and surgically removing Bonzi Buddy and start enjoying things again. Well, for the kids, it's been a big success. They all have iMacs or 5400s, and they're running all kinds of software, all on (and this is important) OS 8.6 and OS 9.x. Problem: I gave one member of the family a Grape iMac in great shape, and put all kinds of neat software on it. What I failed to realize was not only that she was a Freecell addict, but that she was dedicated to the aesthetic purity of the original version under Windows. I got the demo of the shareware version (Super Mac Freecell, I think) and she is deeply unimpressed. Changeable backgrounds and sound effects do nothing for her. She wants to play Freecell on the original, period. Possible solutions: Well, there's Virtual PC, which I use quite a lot. I could use that, or Bochs, or some such thing and boot into Windows to use Freecell. This is sort of an admission that the Mac can't do the job. I could write a Freecell clone in REALbasic, and pay meticulous attention to detail. I could continue to search the web for someone who has solved this problem. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance for your advice and sympathy. :-) Best wishes, -greg -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
