I have not had a typing class in many years. I did not want to attend one, on someone elses schedule.I like this program because It is a typing class whenever I want one. I also am pleased to see my daughter use it. It will print up a typing certificate, she paid $20 for one last week which was required for a job interview. I read the reviews for many typing programs before choosing this one. I feel I got what I wanted. It also included a free resume program, and a $10 rebate, you can't beat that.

i think that Mavis Beacon is good to use all though the Mavis and her hands can get annoying.
A great program but it needs an overhaul December 9, 2006

I have kept a copy of Mavis Beacon nearby since I first tried version 5 years ago on my old 386 DX. It did the job then, and keeps getting better. I do wish they would give it a major overhaul. The games are mostly the same, the graphics have gotten better but it is mostly the same old interface.
Now, that said, maybe it is wise not to mess with a good thing! lol
I approached this software with the basic strategy of giving it 15-20 minutes of my time as soon as I sit down at my desk in the morning. I do not have to type all day so I get rusty. This always gets me going strong again. I am no speed demon and have no need or desire to be. However, I don't use 2 fingers any more. Just commit 15 minutes a day, once or twice a day and you will be cruising along in no time.
If you have version 16, maybe even 15, there is no reason to update. If your copy is older, you will definitely want to update. Go with the DELUXE version. You can normally see it on sale in the Sunday ads for $15-$19. I got mine for $19...4 weeks later it was selling for $15 since it is X-mas time.

I bought this because it looked from the reviews that it was the best on the market. I have now owned it for a couple of months and I cannot say that I disagree. I have loaded this on to 2 computers so far as I purchased a new one recently and I have had no problems in loading the program as some people had mentioned. When I started practicing I confess I was a one finger typist. I found the lessons easy to understand and great at teaching me where all the keys etc. are. The games often provided a welcome break but continuing to reinforce everything you had learned at that point. The only thing now that seems to be holding me back from making this keyboard keys steam is practice and my spelling. If you want learn touch typing with fun and ease then this is the program for you!!
