When we got our first IBM compatible personal computer running the
Windows operating system it was basically an expensive solitaire
machine. My dad for years judged a computer's processing power by how
quickly the cards would spill off the deck after he won a game of
solitaire. The computer was down in the family room and when someone
was playing solitaire it usually was not long before a friendly
helper would appear behind their shoulder. Sometimes it would be
more than one solitaire coach calling out cards that could be
played. Queen to King, Queen to King, Queen to King move the Queen
to King. Okay, now flip a card .Six to Seven, Six to Seven, Six to
Seven, good. It actually started out as legitimate table talk for a
one player game but after a while my brother and I would over
aggressively and quite vocally suggest moves and then ridicule the
player if they didn't make the move we suggested. All in the fun of
bothering someone to entertain ourselves. It worked.
