Learning to touch type is not the most exciting thing you will ever do. Touch typing is the sort of skill you try to convince yourself you don't need, while a voice at the back of your head keeps telling you otherwise. Just think: all that time you waste correcting typing errors, or searching the keyboard for the letter "j", could be saved up and used for something exciting, such as paragliding. You will be able to type while watching the screen, and people won't be able to laugh at your clumsy two-fingered technique.Actually, although it may not be able to compete with paragliding for adrenaline-pumping excitement, learning to touch type can actually be quite fun. Focus Essential's Teach Yourself Touch Typing is a charming little package that could have you touch typing within a week. It includes an interactive game that helps to reinforce your memory of finger positions. Simply press the keys as indicated in the on-screen diagram. Not exactly Quake, but it does the job. First, though, you learn the correct finger positions by working through the various training and speed-building modules. On completion of the course, you take a series of tests and print out your own certificate. --Daren King

Gentle jungle murmurings overlaid with Robert Guillaume's gleeful voice give the solid, well-conceived typing program, Adventures in Typing with Timon & Pumbaa, an unusual degree of appeal and staying power. While the program will have your child smacking bugs, catching grubs and scampering away from dangerous enemies, children are actually practising the same fundamental skill-based keyboard activities as covered by such adult titles as Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.Some terrific components of this program include shadows that display which finger should be used to hit each key, a timer that counts the seconds in each two-minute game and the blissful fact that hitting the space bar will fast-forward you past the opening and closing credits. The mysterious, leafy jungle setting is delightfully alive, yet you'll probably need to turn the brightness on your monitor way up to see all the vital buttons hidden in the dark corners of the scene. Be forewarned: to truly conquer touch-typing, you need to drive those keyboard strokes deep into the body's muscular memory. Endless repetition is the only proven method for this. That means that while this program boasts five unique activities (for example, Rafiki gives "lessons" while Timon and Pumbaa play "games"), it is all keyboard practice, again and again. Kids receive encouragement with an enticing visual environment, progress reports, certificates and frequent enthusiastic comments from Guillaume but it is ultimately going to fall upon the parents to see that their children continue with this when the going gets, well, boring. Don't expect your child to see this through without your support. Stay involved and they will. (Ages six to 10) --Jean Lenihan
