We've purchased two different typing tutor programs for the Mac and neither
one has worked on our network. The first one, Typing Made Easy, would only
work on Mac Pluses and our lab is made up entirely of SEs. The second one
we tried, Typing Tutor IV, does not work on a read-only network volume as it
tries to update its data fork each time it is run. So, we're still looking.
We've heard of one other program called Type by Palintir, but we're not sure
about this info. Another source told us of one called MacType by Broderbund,
but we're not sure if these are one and the same. Before we waste any more
money, can any one recommend a *really* good typing tutor that works on
SEs and read-only volumes. Much obliged...
