[Satire] Vista Heralds Bold New Era in Solitaire, Minesweeper

| With all these features, it's no wonder Vista requires a leading-edge
| processor, a bigger hard drive, and a full gigabyte of RAM to operate. Some
| in the media, of course, complain that the system requirements are too steep
| for many solitaire fans. These folks seem to think they can shell out $400
| for Vista with its intense graphics, glassy buttons and new age "clicky"
| sounds, and that their sluggish two-year-old computers would somehow
| magically handle the load.
