5.0 out of 5 stars Use this one!, June 16, 2008

This review is from: Typing Quick & Easy 17 (CD-ROM)

This typing software teaches you how to type correctly, quickly, and comfortably. You get to see virtual fingers on a keyboard that mimick your fingers, and highlighted letters you typed- at the same time! Even better: you get to choose which set of letters you want to learn first. Much more is on here. I would say it's perfect for someone who enjoys "user friendly" things. Like I said: use this one!

I improved my typing skills on an earlier version of this software. It was necessary to get the new version for the new computer we purchased. It is a solide typing program in my opinion. I have not used others to have any comparison, but I am happy with this product and it has been productive for me.
