    Need I say more? :confused:

    I've Googled and checked out every free Mac games site I can find.
    SOL so far... :frown:

    I just want a solitaire-style game I can play; not interested in online/gambling sites.

    If anyone has something they could email me I'd really appreciate it!

    Thanx,

    can't help with that, but just to bust your balls a bit...I noticed your tagline a while back says cogito ergo Zoom. It sounds pretty good, but the cogito is the 'I think' part so it makes the quote look more like 'I think therefore fast' rather than I go fast therefore I am. I don't speak Latin, I just know a few words from crossword puzzles. Sorry if I burst your bubble, I am just sitting at home bored trying to avoid working on the house. :redface:

    Actually, I wondered if anyone would ever notice that!
    Very astute!

    Technically, the Latin reads "I think, therefore I go fast".

    The line was used many years ago by Road & Track, I believe.
    When I joined several moto-forums not long ago, I 'remembered' the line, albeit not quite accurately.
    I had been intending to change it recently, but have been very busy and just haven't felt like doing it.

    Now, I HAVE TO!! :rolleyes:
    Thanks for creating work for me!
    FIXED!

    I actually have several more loosely-Latin sayings rolling around in my head that I'm thinking of using.
    I'm trying to come up with "Friends don't let friends ride Harleys".
    That would sound so much more elegant in Latin, dontcha think?
    And it would certainly never be figured out by (most) HD riders!
    Maybe put it on a t-shirt...! :cool:

    let's see what we can come up with... the latin-english dictionary tells me that friend=amicus, allow=annuo or permitto, ride (on horseback=equito)... I'm having trouble with making allow negative and conjugation since I don't speak latin. I do speak a little spanish and it's latin based so I assume it conjugates similarly which means the endings all change depending on the tense... Friends would be the same tense as they so whatever ending that would be... I am bored today so I will see what I can find out with the whole WWW at my fingertips... :rolleyes:

    Okay, so I have done some basic latin exercises and scored fairly well considering I don't know the language. I found that at least in one case I saw they used 'non' to make something negative. I think 'facio' means 'do' but in the first person. Friends would be they or 3rd person plural I think... Let's see if I can find a verb conjugation table for latin... you know it might be easier to take another tact, rather than use not allow, use impede which means the same so you could say friends impede friends from riding HD. Then it's already negative. Impedo is the word, it just needs the right tense(if that's the right term?)... okay my reading says latin allows for flexible word order which is good cause my head is starting to hurt... I've run into a problem with something called declension which I don't understand... where are we so far... amico impedo amico de veho harley davidson. I think that says 'friend I impede friend from I ride Harley Davidson' so now we need to change some endings... Amicus impedentur amicus de vehentur Harley Davidson. This is getting closer I think but I'm not sure I changed them correctly...

    Ok, let's try again I think vehentis is riding but I can't be certain... For the verbs, it should be future tense in 3rd person plural I think. This is much harder than I thought... Amicus impedant amicus vehetis Harley Davidson. I think this is getting pretty close and I'm going to stop there as I am lost in all the different conjugations etc. Oh and I think this is the other: Accelero ergo sum <--- I go fast therefore I am. It was much easier to translate!
