3.0 out of 5 stars Too American!, 24 Jan 2007
By Drengskap (Leicester, England) - See all my reviews
I've been using the non-deluxe version of MB for a couple of weeks now, and I'm making good progress with my touch-typing - at least as far as the ordinary letter keys go. However, there are a few problems with the program. Firstly, it's American, so it uses American spellings, and there is no way to change this. Secondly, and probably more seriously, American keyboards are NOT identical to British keyboards - the QWERTY layout is the same, of course, but when it comes to the position of non-alphabetic characters like $, @, £, # etc, they are in different places - so Mavis Beacon's directions actually become misleading. Again, there's no way to change this. Having said all this, learning to touch-type is definitely a worthwhile endeavour, so good luck with it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, 29 April 2006
By Dr. James Thomas (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In an attempt to counter the negative review... this program is great. I learnt to type with version 1 almost 12 years ago - it took me 2 weeks to go from my fairly speedy 2-finger typing to full touch-typing at about 25 words/minute.

It is user-friendly and not intimidating.

Contrary to the review above, you are NOT learning to completely control the computer from the keyboard, you are learning to type - and this program succeeds.

I've just bought this version for a relative and I thought it was just as good, if not better, than the version I learnt with all those years ago.

BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 20 Mar 2006
By A Customer
I bought this product after a recommendation from a friend, and a need to speed up from my typing!

The program is really easy to install and use, and the program is easy to follow.

The games are a good feature, and provide a more entertaining way to learn.

I am very pleased I purchased this product and am continuing to use it to improve my typing skills.
