Learn to TypeIf
you are trying to learn how to type, you'll love the software program
-
Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. It's available for $34.95 from Global
Software
(1-800-8-GLOBAL). This program is well worth the money because it
actually
making typing fun. I tried this out on my friend Laurie, who had never
sat
down at a computer in her life. She was labeled as the "typical" hunt
andpeck
typist. However, she even loved this program.
Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing is menu driven and the more you use it
the more
it adapts to your particular strengths and weaknesses. (Aren't computers
smarter than ever now?) It also entertains you while you learn by providing
2D and 3D graphics, lifelike keyboard and "guide hands" to show you
the
perfect technique for added convenience. We especially liked the Racing
Game,
where the faster you type the faster your race car travels.
Help For Dot-Matrix Printer Owners
Emulaser, exclusively available from TigerSoftware (1-800-888-4437)
for
$69.95 is worth every penny! It's the best thing I've seen - especially
if
you own a dot matrix printer. Emulaser enables you to print Postscript
smooth, typeset-quality type, Postscript graphics, halftones - even
spectacular color images. Emulaser gives you the power to also scale
type
for optimum quality from 1 to 1000 points! A friend used this on his
9-pin
printer and it almost matched the same print-out from my Hewlett Packard
LaserJet. When used on my LaserJet _ the output was close to LinoTronic
(the best available). You'll love Emulaser _ especially if you are
on a
tight budget and cannot afford to upgrade your printer at the present.
Emulaser also comes with 24 professionally designed borders and over
70
premium fonts including a host of symbols and graphic images! (The
only
problem you may encounter is if you have one of the older IBM-compatible
computers, such as an XT or 8086. Emulser may not properly print within
the designated margins due to the restrictions of this older machine.
It's
probably safe to assume you need a minimum 286-based system with 1
megabyte
of RAM for Emulaser to run properly. 520K and 640K RAM systems just
won't
cut it. Sorry.)
