the Typing program was as advertised, used but in good shape. the Disc came in the jewel case, and runs perfectly thus far (we have not yet completed the program.) the shipment arrived in the timeframe described. In short, I got what I needed on time at a discount. No complaints.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun games, but...
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2002
I got this for my 8 year old, who loved the various games, but really wasn't learning to type. There aren't enough lessons for real beginners to develop some skills and speed before they have to start earning points for games. Also the length of time some of the games took to earn points was way too long. I'm an extremely experienced typist and even I got tired. So, I'm in the market for something else...

I thought it was a good game but, it went too fast. It would be more fun if it gave you more time to learn. I got frustrated with it because of that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of compatability problems
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2002
This product never loaded properly. It depends on a very old version of Quicktime (2.x). With this version it still generates a DLL error. The newer Quicktime 5.0 version generates an unable-to-open window message. Old and new versions of Quicktime can't co-exist on my Win98SE system. The worst part was the tech. support, or lack of it. Spent hours on line (total over several days) and never talked to a human. I never hung up on the line, it always cut me off after 20 minutes or so. Very frustrating. This dependence on obsolete software and further lack of technical support means that I must recommend that you don't buy this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not teach typing to beginners

I thought I would be getting a program to teach typing. This seems for children who already know the basics.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3rd grade 90 words per minute

Back in the day when I had this game I loved it, I was typing 90 words per minute in 3rd grade.

1.0 out of 5 stars Jumpstart is a waste of money
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2002
The entire program can be "won" by holding down one key or rapidly typing anything. "Power cards are supposed to be earned by learning typing, but there is no system check to ensure children are even trying to hit the right keys during "timed tests." My school was cheated by purchasing a program that first graders learned how to circumvent.
