Pretty hefty memory footprint

Why Did I Download/Buy This?

Astraware periodically sends me updates on their programs, since I bought Bejeweled and Sudoku from them. Over the last week, I had been tempted to pick up another games package because my existing games were getting stale. When the email came out about the special Halloween edition, I looked further. When I found out I could also use my unlock code with the standard version, I was sold.

How Do I Use This?

I have been playing a lot of solitaire these past few days. Way too much, in fact. But it is a good break from things when I need to get away from the coding I have been doing.
