March 1996 Recycle Bin

It won't replace a trip to the National Gallery of Art, but what this collection lacks in brush strokes it makes up for in pixels. Artscreens brings 40 works of the world's greatest Impressionist and Post-impressionist artists to your computer screen. The screen saver also offers artist biographies, information about each work, password protection and 20 MIDI music files -- though you may want to turn off the last feature. $26.95. Trident Software 800-224-2293, 703-243-0303.
