He likes it, and begs to practice his typing that has improved fairly quickly. I tried it a bit in training mode to do exercises as I don't quite touch type and liked how it shows which finger to use to type the next letter so you don't have to look at the keyboard. <br /> <br />Note this was written back when screens were 640x480 and barely updated since. the window is still stuck at that size, and it will not run if the CD is not in the drive, even if you copy the whole CD to your hard drive and install from there. When this was advertised as the XP/Vista version I hoped it would have lost these limitations.

His typing/keyboarding has improved in a very short time. Rating: 5 / 5 My 10 year old son would spend hours playing (actually learning and practicing typing) if I let him.

This CD didn't work for us how it was supposed to, some things were upside down or something like that, I just gave it away to the library, it was totally useless to me.
