For anyone who ever had to sit through countless hours of driving instruction in a stuffy classroom, Driving School will seem, in comparison, like a thrilling day at an amusement park. With more than 90 minutes of easy-to-follow video and animation, this dynamic, intricately designed program will leave you itching to hit the road, whether you're an old pro or a driving novice.

The most impressive part of Driving School is the program's design--filled with animated graphics, rich colors, and rocking background music, this software draws the user in and doesn't let go until all areas have been explored. Installing and starting the application is a breeze: simply pop in the CD-ROM and within seconds you're ready to learn the secrets of the road. A handy options button lets you increase the volume on the sound effects or shut them off completely if you'd rather just read the text.

The program is divided into seven sections, including Requirements & Regulations; Signs, Lines & Signals; Before You Drive; and Driving Safety. Each of these sections is broken into smaller subsections, which address issues in greater detail. For example, in the Signs, Lines & Signals section, you learn all about yellow lines versus white lines, dotted lines versus solid lines, etc. You can choose to explore a section in greater detail if you wish, or simply go on to the next part if you want to spend more time on another area. Most sections end with a quiz to help you master important information.

While most of the instruction is usually relevant and informative, occasionally the program seems to underestimate the user's intelligence. For example, in the section about signaling, the program reminds us that if we use our hand to signal a turn, we should remember to put our hand back on the steering wheel before actually making that turn. Still, the overall tone of the program is appropriate for new and old drivers alike, and the material is both well taught and engaging. --Gisele Toueg

Four Academy Awards(R) including Best Picture! The funny, tender story of a feisty Southern lady and her chauffeur, fueled by the starpower of Jessica Tandy, Morgan Freeman and Dan Aykroyd.

Winner of the Academy Award for best picture of 1989, this gracefully moving drama, adapted from the hit play by Alfred Uhry, chronicles the 25-year friendship between a stubborn, aging Southern widow (Jessica Tandy) and her loyal chauffeur (Morgan Freeman). At first, the self-sufficient Miss Daisy is reluctant to accept the services of a chauffeur, but Hoke is quiet, wise, and tolerant, and as the years pass the unlikely friends develop a deep mutual respect and admiration. Tandy deservedly won the Oscar for her sassy and sensitive performance, and Freeman earned an Oscar nomination for bringing quiet depth and integrity to his memorable role. Ironically, director Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies) was not nominated, but the film won Oscars for makeup and for Uhry's screenplay, in addition to a supporting actor nomination for Dan Aykroyd as Daisy's supportive son. Delicate, funny, and bittersweet, Driving Miss Daisy was a surprise hit when released, and marked the crowning achievement of Tandy's great career. --Jeff Shannon
