Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great for 8yr old / babysish for 10yr old
My daughter is 8yr and she really took to this. My son is feels it is a little babyish for him. But overall I recommend it and it is getting the job done... They do 45 minutes each day in the morning for 3 weeks so far and are doing great wtih it.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Typing Instructor for kids
This product is not compatible with Vista, and trying to contact the company to get the appropriate patch is almost impossible....



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Hate it...Hate it...Hate it!!!
This is not a program that ran well on my computer. I could get the lessons to download. However the "reward games" part of it would not. Everytime you finished a lesson I would get an error code and then I could only go on to the next lesson. This is no reward for a child learning how to type. I called the company and they e-mailed me a link to get the updated version and I got the same thing with that one too. There is a link to download a "fix" to this problem. Instead of fixining the problem it messed up my computer!

The Sponge Bob typing program is the next one I purchased and I must say it is much more "user friendly". The only drawback is that you need the disk everytime you play. But you will get better results in the end.

I would advise against getting Typing Instructor for kids...either version. Sponge Bob is slightly more expensive but you know the saying: "you get what you pay for".



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - BORING
This is the most boring typing game imaginable. I couldn't get my son interested in it for two minutes. The box says for ages 7 and up. Might be slightly thrilling for a very attentive four year old if that!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A Warning for readers
My daughter, 10, had worked through most of this program, and was learning to type correctly. It was a bit prone to let her progress too fast without feeling that she was making good strides for small improvements, but overall I was satisfied with it. However, in the last module, she came upon a few sentences in a lesson which revealed the climactic ending of The Lord of the Rings, which she had been reading with her father and was only halfway through! In my opinion, this was inexcusable. There may be endings from other novels that are given away in this program by thoughtless consultants or programmers, which I am unaware of. Parents trying to raise their children to read the book before watching the movie might want to avoid this program, and investigate directly regarding details of texts used from literature in the program's lessons.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama named former rival Hillary Clinton as secretary of state on Monday and said Robert Gates would remain defense secretary in a national security team charged with recasting America's leadership role in the world.

How the Honeycrisp apple went from being nearly discarded to one of the tastiest best-named apples of all time -- NYTimes says "the iPod of apples" -- and more about the patenting and branding of apples.
"[D]uring its time of evaluation, Honeycrisp, being a beautiful but partially-colored apple, effectively waited in the wings until the big stage was set. I'm not saying the University would not have introduced Honeycrisp against the tide of Red and Golden. I don't know that. It just takes years to get to the point of taking the leap, and maybe 1991 would have been the leaping point regardless of the current. But there's no doubt Honeycrisp jumped into a very favorable current, one that had been started with Granny Smith and had gained irreversible momentum with Gala and Fuji. Its time had come.

But even when your time has come, if you're an apple, it'll still be a while. There are millions of Honeycrisp trees in the ground right now, but a production ranking is nowhere in sight. Like Gala, Honeycrisp will take a few more years before it climbs out of the "All Others" category.

So, if you're David Bedford, and you evaluated a variety for many years until 1991 and then released it, and it's been out now for well over a decade and it's still in "All Others," you've done a wonderful job. That's just the speed of this game. Honeycrisp is on a meteoric rise. This is a thing that's happening very fast, in apple terms."

A new SDN article delves into the related commands.
