Ah yes, be careful. LOL It might be fun, though. I taught lots of people to type with the help of Talking Typer, so these are very useful applications. I've even played the games on them myself from time to time. So I'd definitely get one for the Mac to practice with myself. The tag line in this email comes from something i blurted out to a student when he was going nowhere by typing too fast in Talking Typer. We both laughed a over it. :)
