It's so seldom that you pick up a piece of software on impulse and are bowled over by it's quality, that I thought I would pass on the info. The Banner Blue Movie Guide contains 9,800 short reviews of movies, their acting leads, awards nominated and awarded, critical acclaim and box-office success. On any screen, clicking on an actor, director, sub-catagory, etc will build a custom list of movies. Your looking at the "Misery" entry, and wonder what other movies Kathy Bates is in, click on her name and the list is constructed. Prebuilt searchs are provided for 4 star releases, office blockbusters, best films of the year, classics and kids favorites to name a few. The movie guide list for $44.95, but the low streetprice is $14.95 at Egghead. Full mouse and keyboard support. And for you laptop luggers, it will run from a CGA/floppy beast. Updates are available periodically. The current release contains movies as recent as 'A League of Our Own". There is even a screen to record your own ratings and to mark movies that you want to see. -- John Hritz, jih@ox.com Photons have mass!!?? O.T.A. Limited Partnership I didn't even know 101 N.
