Using only 18 Kilowatts, almost anyone could afford it. Solitare will use only 1 processor, WHAT will you do with the other 5831 ??

STILL, I want one. I couldnt find a price. Do you know how much one is??

I'd have to run F@D on it to catch you!

If you have to ask you probably can't afford it!

The SC648 starts at about $170,000 for a minimal configuration (price increases with memory). The most expensive SC5832 leaves the factory at about $2.7 million.

I don't get it, Chuckie...

Just get a deck of cards, eh?

Uses no energy, takes up no space, portable, etc.

Why on earth would anyone need a dedicated rig to play Solitaire?

Plus, if anyone tries to interrupt your solitary game, you can grab all those cards and assemble 'em into a deck real quick, and bend 'em back with one hand and spray the offender with a playing card shower!

IMHO, more fun than playing Solitaire in the first place!

How come Knothead always shows up above me?
Ah! Randomnicity & Chaos Theory.

Gee, Chuckiechan thatsanicacomputeryourabuildingthere.

But Linux is not suppose to have game and Solitaire is a game; might be too tough for it. I hope yours will install the SDuper Topp Rated VISTA ULTIMATE with the K.rap Extentions!

Trade you my Olde Packard - Bell running M$ pre-Windows K.rap1.01
A superb machine running a great OS, and it shows.
