For those who don't know (or don't remember), Solitaire was originally
included in Windows to give people practice in using the mouse to
click, double-click, and drag.


I always thought that was an urban legend.


Whether it is or not, I have recommended that people play
Solitaire and FreeCell as a training exercise if they are not already
comfortable using a mouse. (FreeCell adds right-click to the list of
mouse actions.)

Sincerely,
