- Previous purchasers of the Mavis software
This is terrible. I had purchased Mavis back in the day and now with my children needing to type I thought this was the product to buy because of my computer operation system incarnations. I thought, MAVIS...the software I had eight years ago, but:

After reading the posts...

If there is no help or no support or no avenue for this software, then I would have to say, don't buy it. (I say this with a heavy heart. Mavis, what happened.)

- Well, it does teach you how to type...
But there are many flaws. First off, it installs many third party programs on your computer in secret so you should do a custom install if it gives you the option, and DONT fill out the form that they have you fill out to register the product with your real information. They don't have customer service anyway, so this is just a ploy to sell your information. I tried getting a hold of customer service because I cannot get the program to run full screen on my xp system for some reason and you're given ... Read More

I ordered this for my sister as a b'day present. She is "typing challenged" and has improved so much it is amazing. She enjoys the drills and seeing how much she is improving. Great product for any age

- Will burn your CPU
This is obviously an old code packaged as new. You can see that from the moment you install it. It will also install 3rd party offers on your computer. It will use 98-100% of your CPU even if you do not type anything. I believe the code actively loops indefinitely reading the keyboard instead of registering a callback function for events from keyboard. In just a few minutes your CPU will get hot and your fan will run like crazy. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Rating:

- Works well when used in addition to "regular" typing lessons
Advantages: 1) gives extra "practice" that isn't as boring as typing exercises from a book 2) speed tests give feedback on actual progress being made. 3) personal accounts keep everyone progressing at their own level (However, when used with children, they still must be carefully monitored to be sure they are using correct hand position or they will just reinforce poor typing skills.)

I teach a middle school computer class and realized that even though most of the kids have been using a computer ... Read More
