Jump Start Typing

PURCHASED FOR YOUNGSTER WHO

It looks like a great product, but it wont run on my computer. I tried tech support, and they suggested another product. You have to have QuickTime running on your computer for it to work. If you dont have QuickTime, dont buy it. I tried downloading QuickTime, but it isnt working either. I tried to uninstall QuickTime, but now it wont uninstall properly. I really wish I could get this to run. My son was really looking forward to using it.

This cd is fun for the kids. It really keeps them interested in learning to type

I bought this for my son to practice with during summer break from school. He enjoyed using it and getting to feel as if he was playing a game while he was learning...good buy!

Fun game. My kids are getting better at typing. My program is not playing the extra videos that are supposed to teach extra typing tips.

its fun but more for small children. My son, 15, needs something more for adults... the program is based on games but games more interesting for small children in my opinion

Old software. Expect bad graphics and cheesiness.

works on windows 98 and nothing newer~

Love the older PC games. This is such a fun way to learn how to type.

First of all, let me start by saying that we are members of the jumpstart website which offers great education games. The graphics are amazing on this website. This game however, was written a while ago and the graphics are very old school. My eight year old will practice her typing but only if prompted because she just isnt into it as much as she is on the website. Too bad the website doesnt offer typing! This game encourages proper hand placement and basic keyboarding skills but the games are a bit repetitive and the reward levels dont offer much incentives.
