You see, this is why I love the internet so much. What can't you do on-line?
Virtual bubblewrap
By the way, that was a rhetorical question - I'm sure there are lots of things you can't do on-line |

ok, now my only interest was in popping bubbles, not finding out about the technicalities of it (am I digging myself a hole here?) |

cool link mellowman
manually, it's easy to do this popper thingy in under a minute but nothing faster than ~25sec? My try timed at 46sec but I could do faster with more practise The faster way seems to start from the edge and go down diagnolly, once you reach the bottom go up diagnoally for the next row, and so on, I would suppose the higher the screen resolution used and faster mouse cursor speed could help. But me and a pal decided to bet on how fast the computer can do the popping, so we both created our own(two seperate apps) popper application and they both did it in under a sec , but it was just for a test. |

At my summer job this year, there were unpopable bubbles. It was horrible! Each bubble fed into the next one. I'd say that's the worst invention! Normal bubblewrap is awesome!! _________________ "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you." - Gandalf the Grey |

That is horid. My kids are easily ammused and not easily frustrated or stopped. You know kids. Very determined. One time for me and it just wasn't fun anymore. I need real bubble wrap too. I second what LOTRGIRL said. |
