- Best typing software for preteen boys
I bought this software for my son last summer, and made a deal with him that he would complete the software before school started in September for a grand prize of $50. He did it, and without much trouble. He has been at the top of his computer class since September, getting the highest grade possible each semester. Why? Because he types well, and doesn't look at the keyboard. I couldn't ask for more.

- Not For Beginners
SpongeBob Squarepants Typing 2008
My six year old grandson found this interesting, but it didn't teach him the fundamentals he needed to follow along with the program.We will try it later, now he is doing well in Mavis Beacon set to its lowest lever (8 year old) and really likes working on it every day.(Older grandkids started with the Mavis Beacon program and then went to the Sponge Bob for a change - loved it and did well.So I think its an option for a child with some basis typing practice ...

- Do not buy this if you have Vista
This product will not install on Vista even though the box states "Vista Compatible" in three places.I wasted a hour trying to get this to install and to get technical support. Now I have to return it.The .exe file shows a 1999 date; this software is ancient.There is absolutely no technical support from The Learning Company or Encore or Riverdeep (apparently a Chinese company). Do not buy this for a new computer.
Rating: - Defective, Obsolete & doesn't work with Mac
This item is a very old item that has been reworked unsuccessfully and then marketed as new.It is totally unsuitable for a Mac.I spent 2 hours in an Apple store in NYC at the Genius Bar (where you go to have technical problems taken care of) and they finally concluded that this item is defective.It is written in an outdated computer language and has been revised for Mac, but doesn't work.Avoid this item.
