 Great product but needs some flexibility September 3, 2005

I picked this up in a bargain bin, and now would have paid more. I was surprised that this SW enabled me to quickly unlearn bad pecking habits.
I'd like to see more utilities to review my progress and an option to work on weak keys (still having trouble with g and h!)--Broderbund--listen up!
Not sure if this is really a four star since I have not tried other typing programs.

Like the other reviewer Mavis Beacon 12 froze at the last beginner lesson. Rather than mess around with this obviously defective product I'm trying another developers'. My computer is an IBM T40 running the latest version of XT Professional.

If you started with mavis 5 and your still buying them through mavis 12, maybe you should just give up on learning to type....
complaint --- rules about space between sentences August 20, 2002

Dear Broderbund:I am in a computer training program and we just installed Mavis Beacon 12 in our computers (7 in our lab). My first complaint is the fact that we have to leave the computer disk in the disk reader in order to be able to use Mavis Beacon. If you take the disk out of the tower, even though you have downloaded the disk,
Mavis is not there to call up and use. Another complaint is the rule about 2 spaces between sentences is not followed. Mavis consistently has only 1 space between sentences. This is a little irritating to say the least. Also, it takes a lot of time for a game to come up. You spend a lot of time looking at a black screen and you lose your momentum. I do enjoy using Mavis Beacon to improve my typing skills and speed but feel these problems should be addressed. Thank you for your time.
