Burr,
I am not familiar with any of the methods you mention. any method that
teaches typing by touch should be considered. Any method that does not
should be ditched that's my opinion. There is no substitute for the basics.
Sooner or later you have to learn home base and how to access the keys from
there. Your local swintec dealer will supply you with a huge typing poster
which lays out the keyboard for all to see. Its very very instructional.
It was made with that purpose in mind. Call your local typewriter shop and
ask them if they carry SWINTEC. If they do, ask them for the poster.
Swintec usually gives them to schools for free and that includes private
schools. Ask for it. If you cannot find one, Swintec is based in Dallas,
Texas. Ask me and I'll have one sent to you!
