Solitaire (PC)

~ ~ What do you do when you're sat at your PC or laptop browsing around the web, (or even, God forbid, working!) and suddenly the onset of the dreaded boredom sets in? I'm sure you've all experienced it, even when it's not work related, and you're doing something as pleasurable as reading and rating reviews here at dooyoo or over at Ciao. Suddenly the old brain cells seem to go into neutral, and everything becomes an enormous strain that's simply not worth the effort.
