I had recommended Mario to some people that I work with at their home
because someone had suggested it on one of my list serves. I thought it was
horrible. It would be a review program for someone who already knows how to
type. By the 2nd lesson the children (ages 8,9 and 12) were frustrated,
hating it and complaining. After seeing it myself I offered to purchase a
new program for them at my expense because I felt bad that I had recommended
such a poor program.
