The product did not work on my Dell Inspiron Laptop with windows XP. But TLC does not support Laptops for their program. It says so also on their homepage that this program is not tested for Laptops.
Hello, The learning Company!!! it’s 2007. In fact most computers are laptops today.

I bought this for my granddaughter who is 8 to help her learn how to type since she is always trying to type pages from her reading books. It starts with the basic typing skills such as how to use the right fingers and make sports meeting out of what you learned. It can be used for adults who want to learn how to type or increase their typing skills.

I got this game in an Apple Store, my kid played it on one of the provided computers while I was looking around. I would check with him from time to time, and he seemed to be very much into the game, trying to identify the keys on the keyboard. He plays on a computer at home nearly daily, but this was the first time I saw him preoccupied learning the keyboard.
The box I got contains three CD, as opposed to only two advertised in this package. The other two are called “Spellbound” and “Writing Practice”. Out of them, only the “Typing” CD worked on a PowerBook running MacOS X 10.4 (a PowerPC processor). The other two sadly require MacOS 9 to be installed. While this might be fine for a PowerPC-based machine, it won’t work on the new Intel-based Macs. The typing CD seems to be running fine on a new MacPro Intel-based system.
One thing which is really annoying is the fact the software requires the original CD to be inserted in order to run. I guess the reason is to protect from piracy, but is this really effective? For paying customers, their small kids are going to always question their parent’s help before playing the game. This will only reduce the time the kids spend with the software, as CDs are often misplaced and hard to find later. Why require this for a less than $20 program? There are so many other ways to make this work, the developers should really investigate them.

My 8 year ancient started using Mavis Beacon at school, likes it, and was effective hard at improving her typing skills. I wanted something for her to work on at home, and gave Sponge Bob typing a try. It is very similar to Mavis Beacon, except sponge bob makes encouranging comments, the hands are golden-haired, there are a few Sponge Bob out takes, the social class and theme is of course Sponge Bobish, and the words they type are words that kids are more familiar with. She just got to print her first certificate for beating Patrick Star in a typing competition using the home row keys plus “i” and “e”. She will get her next certificate for beating Gary the snail when she completes the next benchmark.
One improvement would be if Sponge Bob would refrain from saying “I make that mistake sometimes too” when no mistakes had been made.
My daughter likes Sponge Bob typing much better than Mavis Beacon, but a outcome who isn’t motivated to learn to type probably wouldn’t use it very much because there isn’t as much activity variety as other Learning Company sports meeting.
