Dynamix, a division of Sierra On-line, today announced its participation at the 18th annual National Educational Computing Conference to be held in Seattle, June 30 through July 2.

Dynamix will showcase its upcoming title, Driver's Education.

Launching into the educational market, Dynamix invites academic attendees of NECC and the press to check out this exciting new product at a reception to be held on Monday, June 30 from 5:30 to 7:30 at Cavanaugh's on 5th Avenue in downtown Seattle. At this reception, Randy Dersham, General Manager at Dynamix, will talk about the past, present and future of Dynamix and its role in the educational software field. Light hors d'oeuvres and drinks will be served. Anyone interested in attending this event, please RSVP to Christa Wendland at 541/334-4914, or by e-mail at christa.wendland@sierra.com .

Safe and defensive driving is what Driver's Education is all about. Users will learn the basics and will get special lessons in subjects ranging from parallel parking to alcohol awareness. All of this will be done with the help of Driver "Ed," the most unique driving instructor on or off the road. After gaining a permit in the virtual classroom, users will hit the streets of the Virtual City and get a realistic feel for driving a car. This realistic feel comes from a new three dimensional technology developed by Dynamix in Eugene, OR.

For parents and driving instructors, this program will provide an important, safe and timesaving tool, not to mention a little peace of mind. This unique product also fills an important void created by financial cuts to driver's education curriculums across the nation.

Driver's Education is a program that provides a comprehensive set of lesson plans and tests concerning motor vehicle laws and rules of the road in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Beginning drivers and those brushing up on the "rules of the road," can now test their driving knowledge without waiting in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Dynamix is a division of Sierra On-Line, one of the original developers and largest worldwide publishers of interactive entertainment, productivity and educational software. The company recently merged with CUC International, a technology driven, membership services based company that provides access to travel, shopping, auto, dining, home improvement, financial and other services to 66.3 million consumers worldwide. The company's common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol CU. Sierra's corporate headquarters are located in Bellevue, WA.
