4.0 out of 5 stars Mavis Beacon Review, October 31, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I thought it was a fairly good product. It was easy and fun to use, it was more like a kid's computer game than an adult product. Which could be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences. It did help me learn to type better I'm at 47 words a minute verses the 18 when I started. It has a Spanish language mode and even teaches you the numeric keys. So all in all I give it a 4 out of 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, December 4, 2008
I bought this product for my mother, who wanted to learn how to type faster. I gave it to her as an early Christmas present and she loved it. She's never had a typing class and this is just the thing for her, she's only been using it for about a week and you can already tell she's improving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Continued Greatness, October 18, 2008
I have owned previous versions of Mavis Beacon and had to upgrade because I upgraded to Windows Vista. This version is just as good as the others!

1.0 out of 5 stars This product is defective
This product is defective. It has "a bug" in the code; during the first lesson, the program goes to The Chamaleon game and stays there, no matter what you do. Read more
