This thing has version 1.00 firmware in it and it shows. It was slower than my wireless G modem it was to replace. All of our wireless devices took forever to load a web page--both Windows XP and Mac OS X computers. We had great response with the previous LinkSys router that it was to replace. A

Has Adware, but a decent tutorial
3/25/2008
I broke from my golden rule of buying software from a store when I purchased this program which I have a few complaints about.
1:) Netzero adware. How a commercial costing $20 (in the store) puts adware on your computer without your permission is beyond me.
2:) Dated visuals. Vista has to temporarily downgrade it's visuals in order to accommodate its games and videos. Also, the font size is far too small and the overall look is from 1995 where CD rom games first started
3:) Proceeds too fast from letter to letter. I actually downloaded a free typing software in order to review certain troublesome letters.

That being said it will help you to type better (I'm typing fluently with both hands now thanks to this and other software I have found on the internet and I'm still working on my speed) and is decent overall, but I would not recommend it to you unless you don't care about the three complaints listed

Mavis Beacon Typing 17
3/8/2008
We homeschool, and most of the "learning is fun" type computer programs we have purchased in the past either fell short of any real learning aspect or taught the material well, but wasn't too fun. However, my 10-yr-old little girl really liked Mavis Beacon. It was fun and really turns the lessons into fun games. Usually, we have to tell her how long to practice on her guitar, or other school activity, but she will spend 30 minutes several times a week practicing her typing and we don't have to remind her. I would definitely recommend this program.

Terrific for kids!
3/7/2008
My 11 year old daughter asked for this software after her typing teacher recommended it for practice at home. (Private school) She and my 8 year old son are both loving it. They are learning without even realizing it. Fun games make them stick with it much longer than ordinary lessons would.
