 - TypingThis is a great product for every beginner typer. My speed went from an 20 WAM to 38 WAM. This is a must to have. Rating:  - Does not workMy Treo 700P locks up every time I try to install it. I found this tech note, not in Broderbund tech support, but in Encore's (parent corp.) web site: "There is a known incompatability issue with the Palm Tungsten series and the palm software installed by Mavis Beacon 16." This applies to the Treo 700P as well. Also I could not get it to install on a rudimentary Windows system. Beware of this software. But I know it is a good teaching method because I had a much older version. I will explore version 17 and try to contact there tech support first. Rating:  - Great productGreat tutorial for typing. Interactive program to help learn placement of fingers. Rating: - THE BEST IT COULD BE, AND BETTERMy three-year-old is now typing. He doesn't even know his letters. My four-year-old is typing at 5 words/minute after only a couple of hours. She only knows some of her letters. I can't overestimate my pleasure. I have raised my speed from 24 wpm to 55 wpm in just 3 days (using normal paragraphical content) and I have increased my symbols speed from 3 wpm to 25 wpm. You don't even know how much you need to use this. It is great for any child of any age, and Adults as well. Your precious time is wasting. You will be surprised at how FAST you will improve. Have fun and good luck! Rating: - Are there any other Network Typing programs out there?One reviewer says that Mavis Beacon 16 hasn't discovered Windows. I concur. Running 16 Network on Windows 2000 P4 and it runs dog slow. What is it doing? Re-sort a progress report with 25 students by clicking on a column tab and the program goes out to lunch. Not to mention that it takes over the computer like it was DOS (maybe it is running DOS). It has some odd launcher program. THe instructions are measly and miserly. No instructions on how to setup on a network until you read the technical notes. Wrong place buddy. That stuff belongs in the primary docs, like a Getting Started section. I agree "run from this". Find something better.
