TEN THUMBS TYPING TUTOR -- NOW FOR MAC OS X, TOO
Runtime Revolution announces new release of acclaimed educational program

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Edinburgh, Scotland. 18th June 2002

Runtime Revolution today released Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor 2.3. The new
version brings full Mac OS X compatibility to Ten Thumbs, along with other
enhancements, refinements, and new features.

Ten Thumbs has received critical acclaim for its easy-to-use, step-by-step
approach to learning keyboard skills:

* Fun on screen characters help to engage learners.
* Skill tests provide feedback and target areas for additional practice.
* A structured set of tutorials guides learners in their study.

Ten Thumbs is appropriate for learners of all ages, and is used in schools,
at home, in colleges, universities and industries, including call centers
and financial services organizations.

"We're delighted to bring our multi-award winning Ten Thumbs package to Mac
OS X -- it's the first keyboard-skills package to make it onto Mac OS X,"
said Kevin Miller, Runtime's Managing Director. "Touch typing is to a
computer what learning to steer is to a car. It's great that OS X users now
have an easy and fun program to learn this essential skill."

Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor is now available for all major personal-computer
platforms:
* OS X
* Classic Mac OS
* Windows 95/98/2000/NT/ME/XP
* Linux

A free trial version of Ten Thumbs is available from:
