Dear Supporters

Let's discover the most unexpected reason computer Solitaire was invented - and it has nothing to do with Microsoft Windows!

Some of you may already know this but I tried to tell it in a fun way even if you do. The video turned out much shorter than I expected, but I told the story I wanted to tell and it clocked in at 7 minutes. I kind of like the succinctness for a change and hope you do too!

You can also watch the full supporter-exclusive 30 minute interview with Brad Fregger here if you missed it.

Thank you for your ongoing support! 👍🕹
