 Garfield's Typing Pal, 2005-12-27
It arrived quickly, but it's missing any paperwork and the serial number so that I can install it. I also can't get the manufacturer to respond. That was money down the drain!

 MISSING SERIAL NUMBER AGAIN!, 2005-12-22
I bought this for my 12-year old son who has to learn the keyboard because he now will use a laptop in school. Thanks to the Amazon customer that provided the serial number RTR5MB9NE7TFQRYZ. I was getting ready to return this product after calling the 800 number on the box and hearing a very long message in French. Merci to the Amazon reviewer, no Merci to the manufacturer "DeMarque" I hope using the software is better than the install.

 Serial number, 2005-12-22
I just received the software without a serial number on the CD box but thanks to another review I read I was able to register by using serial # RTR5MB9NE7TFQRYZ and it worked fine.

 Excellent disciplinary measure for homeschoolers, 2005-12-16
This is a perfect trick to discipline my 6 year old. Whenever he does something wrong, instead of time-out, it is TIME TO TYPE! Boy does he hate it! The wonderful thing is, there are some sixty different exercises to pass, and after he types each exercise, it gives a report of how he did (word per minute) and how many mistakes he makes. At the beginner's level, he is allowed to make 38 mistakes at 9 words per minute. There are also intermediate and advanced levels, and even custom-set levels you can choose.
My son made it through the first exercise (jf) in a couple of days, but then he got stuck on dk exercise for at least six months, when he typed each he hit his little brother over the head. It takes him 5 minutes to finish an exercise if he is in a hurry, or 1/2 hour if he is throwing a fit. I put a limit on the number of mistakes he can make; if he makes more than 40 mistakes, he has to do it all over. The program itself does not progess unless he types in the right letter. The only way the exercise ends is when he finishes it and get the "report card" that tells me how he did. There's no way around it; I don't have to supervise, and he can't cheat at all.
After the long hang up on dk, he got much better and passed sl and a; fairly quickly, and now is on gh. You might wonder if my approach is teaching my son to hate typing. Not at all! Now that he has passed a few exercises, he enjoys reworking his old exercises, passes them again and yell, "Mom, I passed!" So he doesn't really hate typing, he just hates not passing!
The program provides detailed statistics of his progress, special exercises aimed at improving his weak points, even a 10-key drill (number key). During typing, you see one of several garfield cartoons where Garfield gets smacked if you make a mistake.
This is an excellent program for kids and adults alike. Highly recommended!
Teaches Typing While Having Fun , 2005-12-13
Bought this as part of our homeschool curriculum. Have a daughter who's in 7th grade and use this to fulfil her Practical Arts requirement mandated by the state. She loves using it and wants to do it everyday! I highly recommend this software. I had no problem with the serial code as some reviewers have. It is located on the CD case and not the box. There is a sticker in the lower right hand bottom of the case with the serial code printed there.
