I will wait untill the game comes out in Win2000, or WinXP. I have an old one that worked on my old computer and the game was fun. Now it's worthless. I will sell it for a penny but no one will buy it. I thought Disney was in the business to make a profit once in a while. Everybody wants to teach their kids how to type in this computer age, and this is the only game around. And it dosen't work on the the current model computers.

OK, it's a fun way for my young kids to learn the basics of typing - splatting bugs by pressing the right keys is pretty fun. The price was unbeatable.
The down side: It teaches only basics - letters and numbers. No shifted keys. No ten-key. It also runs only with the CD in the drive. It is also very difficult to install on Win2000/WinXP - you have to create a shortcut on your desktop for the setup.exe program on the CD, change the shortcut's compatibilty mode to Win95, then install the thing. Yeesh. BTW, don't accidentally hit (or rest your wrist on) the Windows key while you're typing; it royally messes up the color palette - to the point of having to quit and start over.
It got my kids started with typing in a fun way, but it was a bit of a pain to get it working. You win some, you lose some. This was a draw.
