Does anyone know of a simple teach yourself typing program?
My son spends a lot of time on msn and it may would help him getting into the right habits with typing?
Thanks

490543 2006-10-10 09:20:00 'Mavis Beacon teaches typing' is the one. I just purchased a Logitech keyboard and it came with the CD... says it is worth $49.95 (not sure if that's NZ dollars).

If you want it PM me and I can mail you the disc as I wont be using it.

490550 2006-10-11 14:50:00 i learned how to type from instant messaging, alls you need to do is teach him to use the home keys. ASDF JKL; and he will be all good it should just come natrual after that. i think you type better with your own style as long as its bassed around all 8 fingers 1 thumb and the home keys. MSN will give him some bad grammer but thats what msword does. no need to capitilize when somone will do the work for you, no reason to fix spelling mistakes. WOO HOO for microsof word. bigmahlman (11255)
