BEST OF SHOW NYC 98: Imagination Unlimited
Tom Carrolan

N.E. Mac ["any Mac"] Best of Show Award:
Disney's Blast Online

Disney is part of the new Time Square and their new Mac version of Blast Online dazzles and entertains with a definite G rating. If you have young children, the new Mac version of Blast Online is a great deal. For $5.95 a month there's no better or safer place to plunk your kids down on the web than here. Look an introductory deal online.

It's Disney so you know it got kid stuff. The games, chat, and Disney stuff here will keep them interested and wanting to come back time and time again.

With or without the triple X aire, Times Square is the many neon light effects and huge billboards. It's a regular graphic arts classroom.
N.E. Mac ["any Mac"] Best of Show Award:
IBVA System

The Interactive Brainwave Visual Analyzer is a noteable exception to any previous Best of Show winner [200+ winners so far]. This currently is not a product "for the rest of us." Say it ain't so.

Calm your thoughts and stuff happens. This technology has been used to control appliances, electronics, and virtual reality gear. Controlled with your brain waves.

Drew DeVito and Masahiro Kahata's brainchild is one of the many, many futuristic apps. coming from people who develop on Macs. And for Mac users, the future is now.

Here your Best of Show Editor fuels a race car by relaxing not tensing thought waves. At $1000, you probably won't take this home but: the experience, the experience.
N.E. Mac ["any Mac"] Best of Show Award:
MetaCreations' Painter Classic

Do ya like the cheap eats column in your local newspaper? Do ya love finding a good bargain? Well here ya go -- Painter for ninety-nine bucks.

What features are withheld in this lite version? Damned if I could tell even after playing with PC for ten minutes at their tiny NYC boothlet [actually they had a single computer in a developer's style area].
