"Proustian" indeed. I was a French language editor at Microsoft in 1990 when Minesweeper was released, and I have fond memories of so much wasted time getting a thrill out of the 3D imaginary tactile nature of the game... neglecting my NYT newspaper edition crossword in the process... I'm amazed this theme has never happened and am so grateful to Aidan for somehow knowing how delightful it would be for so many of us. One of the best puzzles ever.
