1.0 out of 5 stars The program is from 2004
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024
Perhaps I missed it in my search for Mavis, but I was dismayed to find that the program on the disk was a 2004 version.

I wanted to install it on a newer computer that I have because the older computer I was using to practice typing on gave up the ghost. I didn't want to violate any copyright laws. I have had the older computer since around 2012.

I have found a program that is newer and I won't be using this 2004 one.

5.0 out of 5 stars the new version of mavis has a lot of fun build in
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017
if you don't type, you can. just place four fingers, minus thumbs,starting almost in the middle. the new version of mavis has a lot of fun build in. apart from the invention of the quill and ink, the typewriter just is faster than the hand. hard to be a speed writer.

I have version 16 and version 12.
Advantages of Version 16 over version 12.
***You can have the entire application installed on the hard drive. So you don't need the intall disk to run the application. Not so with Version 12. This is particularly benefitcal when I am using my laptop and want to maximize my battery life. Also this allowed me to install a version on my Desktop and my laptop.

Advantages of both
Have PC & Mac Versions
Both work on XP and on my Vista Laptop

Negative of both
The graphics have not changed in 4 versions. Why can't the software company make some really enhancement to the low res graphics. It seems like it's stuck in the 80s.

Thanks,

I was able to teach myself moderate typing skills using this easy software. It is kinda fun, and I could have improved skills, but don't really need better typing speed and was not willing to spend more time.
