Questions & Answers

How does Windows 10 work with this?

It will be part of the version that we offer. On Win XP and newer it would not work with the version which came in this box. A complete reversal was taking place in the program. It is for this reason that the publisher displayed the graphics of the newer version The joke is kind of funny. It seems the same program is being used. It is a pleasure to work with you, Max

The game is compatible with either Mac 10 or 11. ?

There is no way it will work. I am Max

Are you required to use the CD every time you want to play the game or will installing it the first time be sufficient?

Unfortunately, you must play with the CD each time you want to listen

5/5

In good shape, used but still in good condition, the Typing program was as advertised. 1) the shipment was delivered according to scheduled delivery time. summary, I was able to get what I needed on time and for a lower price. There is nothing to complain about.

There are a lot of compatibility issues
3/5

There was some issue with the loading of this product. Among its limitations is that it relies As w). A DLL error is still generated in this version. It is now possible to use Quicktime 5 with the newer version. An error is generated when the version 0 is run A message is displayed when the window is opened. Using old and new versions of Quicktime at the same time isn't possible There are no such programs on my Win98SE computer. I found the tech to be the most difficult. There is either no support or it's absent. I spent hours on the phone (over a period of several days) and never talked to a live human being. The line would often cut me off after 20 minutes or so, but I never hung up. A lot of frustration. As a result of this dependence on obsolete software and a lack of technical support, I strongly recommend you stay away from.

The majority of the people I meet ask me how I type so fast and without looking, so I tell them about this awesome game I played when I was a kid
5/5

As a child, I played a game called this and it became my jam jam. People always ask me how I type so quickly without looking, and I tell them about this awesome game. In my memory, it was a game I actively sought out.

However, fun games aren't the only thing to do
3/5

A friend gave it to me for my 8-year-old, who was hooked on the various games, but his typing wasn't so great. A real beginner won't be able to get some skills and speed before having to earn points for a game before they can begin. Moreover, the amount of time it took to earn points in some games was excessive. Even I was tired even though I am an extremely experienced typist. I'm shopping around for something else right now.

It does not teach beginners how to type
3/5

It was my expectation that I would get a program to teach me how to type. There is a lot of repetition here, so it may only appeal to children who.

It is a waste of money to invest in Jumpstart
3/5

It is possible to win the entire program by holding down a key or quickly typing anything in. During "timed tests," young children are supposed to earn "power cards" by learning how to type, but there is no system in place to verify they are even trying to hit the right keys. In purchasing a program, my school purchased a cheat sheet that gives first graders instructions on how to circumvent the program.
