Hi all, Back on the old macvisionaries list (a few years before it moved to GoogleGroups in 2009), I recall this question was asked, and James Austin mentioned there were a couple of accessible typing tutors at the PureMac web site: http://www.pure-mac.com/typing.html I have no idea which ones they are, since that wasn't mentioned, but you could try starting there. This is long enough ago that it's possible the software was only for PowerPC's. (Rosetta stopped being supported for Intel Macs with Leopard.) Still, they give links and many of the entries are shareware, so you might be able to find trial downloads. That page is specifically for typing software.
I'm really, really glad we have the secondary Mail Archive for this list, since it's possible to pull up these old references with a simple search, even if the post was from 2006, and the details long forgotten. I really wish there were similar archiving for the viphone list, because I'm sure that lots of valuable bits of information have gotten lost due to the must weaker search support. HTH.
