> Business Class and [City To City][1], $49.95 each, attempt to
> harness the power of HyperCard to turn the Macintosh into a
> sophisticated yet easy to use electronic travel guide. City to City
> lives up to the promise; Business Class falls short, but only
> because of its limited data base.
>
> Business Class is aimed at the world traveler and it serves as a
> good starting point for planning an exotic vacation or a business
> jaunt to Rome.
>
> The opening screen presents a map of the world, half of which is
> darkened to indicate where it is nighttime at any given moment based
> on the Mac's internal clock. This can be particularly useful if
> you're planning an overseas telephone call and you don't want to
> wake up the boss or a valued client by mistake.
>
> A quick glance at 1 a.m. EDT, for example, shows dawn is racing
> across Europe while it is high noon in central Asia. This handy
> feature alone almost justifies the software's price tag.
>
> To call up information on any of 65 countries, simply point the
> mouse cursor at the appropriate area on the map and a close-up view
> of the region snaps into place. Click again on the country of your
> choice and another close-up appears showing major cities.
>
> At the bottom of each country card you have a choice of 13
> buttons?just point and click?representing information categories
> ranging from currency to social customs to a list of hotels in each
> city. With the help of a modem, the stack will even dial the number
> of the hotel of your choice (or car rental agency or airline, etc.)
> and help you create and print a detailed itinerary.
>
> All in all, Business Class is professionally implemented,
> attractively designed and easy to use.
>
> But one can't escape the reality that a visit to the corner
> bookstore can result in far more detailed information for less
> money. While the database is packed with interesting information, it
> is simply too scanty to be really useful and I can't imagine
> actually planning a trip abroad with this software.
