    I like this particular edition to learn how to touch type. There are lots of good goods on how to improve one's typing skills, posture, and hand/finger placement. I would have rated it excellent but it failed to work on my Mac laptop; it worked only on Windows. I am basing this critique on the fact the title includes both Mac and Windows. Otherwise, it is a good product.

    I bought this typing tutor when my sister in law was staying with me, so I could teach her to type faster, I thought if I had an actual typing program, where little letters fell from the sky, she would learn to type faster and she did. It provided more information than I bargained for. Really loved it.

    I purchased this software to help my 12 year old grandchild with typing assignments in the school computer lab. It has proven to be a wise investment.

    I never learned to type when I was younger. This Typing program is the best one I purchased and is good for 3 computers. The price was reasonable and the program is easy and effective,

    I haven't been too far through this but it has helped a lot. It is hard to do while working the job that I do because I do a lot of typing so i get frustrated and just go back to my old ways or ill be working forever! It teaches you not only how to type fast and without looking, but also all the other elements as well such as how your posture and positioning of hands should be etc.
