Jigsaw puzzles online - Time Waster

Jigsaw PuzzlesI have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of putting together jigsaw puzzles; it's just not an activity I would ever choose. On the other hand, when there's a partially completed puzzle sitting on a table, I can't walk by it without sitting down and starting to look for pieces to match up together.

I suspect this Time Waster is only going to appeal to the real die-hard jigsaw puzzle fans out there. Among the various games at Shockwave.com are a set of 10 jigsaw puzzles that you can put together online. Playing involves moving pieces around and rotating them until you get a match, at which point you hear a satisfying click. Of course, there's none of the tactile feedback of feeling the pieces in your hands, the smell of the cardboard, and the frustration of finishing a 1,000 piece puzzle and discovering that one piece has gone missing.

Hmm, maybe it's not such a bad idea.
