- Actually, there's a relatively recent freeware typing tutor that is
- stupendous. Written by Charles Hartley, the name of this program is Computer
- Keyboarding. It works with IIe, IIc or IIGS systems.
-
- Before anyone asks me to upload it...I only have the original release. I
- think there have been 3 or 4 revisions to it, so I'm not up to date. Mr
- Hartley has uploaded Computer Keyboarding to GEnie's A2 area...
-
- It really is an excellent program, and the pricing can't be beat.
