Hi Folks,
Many people played the Windows XP games including,
J.K.Rowling The author of Harry Potter plays minesweeper. On 15 May 2004
she posted on her site, "In the bad old days, when I wanted a few minutes'
break while writing, I used to light up a cigarette. I gave up smoking in
the year 2000 and now chew a lot of gum instead (hence the state of my
desk). However, chewing a bit of gum does not give you an excuse for a nice
little brain-resting break, so instead I like to escape the complexities of
the latest plot by playing a quick game of Minesweeper. Since giving up
smoking I must boastfully inform you that I have become rather good and that
my current best time for expert level is 101 seconds."
In December 2004 she added, "Just thought you might like to know that my
personal best for Expert Level Minesweeper is now
ninety nine seconds. This goes to show how much time I have been spending at
this computer, typing 'The Half-Blood Prince'. To those who suggest that I
might get on even faster if I stopped taking Minesweeper breaks, I shall
turn a deaf ear. It's either Minesweeper or smoking, I can't write if I have
to give up both."
