Rating: - A Solid Typing Program (kind of)
The program has a number of interesting features, but it won't work with XP users who didn't have administrative access at the time it was first installed, and I've yet to find any updates/fixes on the website.
The other thing I discovered while going through the website is that you can download TypingPal3.0 for about $10 dollars less than Amazon sells it for, and the site also has TypingPal5.0 available for the same price, or $12 dollars as an upgrade from 3.0 (don't ask me what happened to 4.0).
As far as the progam itself, my only recommendation is that experienced typers either don't take the placement test, or if you do, be very conservate in your WPM goals, as trying to type "ffjjjfjjfjfjfjj fj fj ffff j jf j j j jjjj fj j" with very few mistakes while averaging over 50 WPM is surprisingly difficult, and it'll make you go through every letter of the keyboard (usually in pairs), provided you don't choose a custom lesson.
Rating: - Best typing tutor yet
I have had several typing programs and this is the only that kept me interested in learning to type. I have to admit that I was skeptical at first but I was wrong. I got it for 4$ at this sight four days ago and i'm learning much faster then I ever thought I could. This program has lots of features which will help you progress in no time. By the seventh day I should have the whole key board down and will have to work on my speed and accuracy. I'm glad I got this program, without it I think I would have given up on learning to type. I highly recommend this program.

Rating: - Great and Original product!
I have used my fair share of typing programs. This one in defnitely 5 star category. It is original, in the sense that there are a lot of tools to analyse your performance and improve your problem areas.
