Great for kids   November 25, 2001

My nine-year old son tried this at school and bugged us for weeks to get it at home so that he could practice. He has set his initial goal at 10 words per minute -- he's currently at 7 words per minute and improving quickly. Typing Instructor makes it really easy to track his improvement. For him, at least, this is not treated as educational software even though he knows that this software is actually teaching him how to type. The games keep him thoroughly engaged as he works on practicing his skills. Anything that can teach a child a skill like this while he also has fun is worth its weight in gold.

With regards to some of the other reviews, with our Windows 98 system, we have not experienced any issues with software installation or other installability resulting from this app.

need i say more. despite the fact that the description says it will work with NT, this will create problems on your NT machine unlike any you have experienced before. i am on my second day of trying to get out of this hole that i seem to have gotten myself into. i can boot the computer but it will not run any of my programs.
tech support for the software is horrible. i dialed the tech support number for 2 hours before i was able to talk to anyone. they were absolutely no help.

This is the best thing that can happen to anyone since typing class back in high school! At first I had a hard time installing it,unless you go to their website, you won't figure out the problem to begin with. Once identified, it was a cinch to install. Where Mavis doesn't allow you to advance to the next level unless you repeat the same lesson over and over again, this one is strictly the opposite. I can pick and choose my lessons, virtual games( they're REALLY COOL!) practice texts, etc. You can lose track of time with this. IT'S THE BEST!
