Get supportAfter evaluating much cheaper alternatives, I purchased the $40 Software MacKiev version of 'Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing'. This product is not to be confused with the similar sounding 'Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing' product sold by Encore. (There's an interesting back story to this -- note the MacKiev Mavis Beacon manual still says 'Broderbund' on the front.)
As best I can tell the Encore Mavis Beacon OS X software is a derelict and abandoned product that's sold cheaply but worth nothing. Sadly, that's the only version Amazon ships directly. I think they're confused.
Apple sells the MacKiev version. This is a new version of an old product, as noted in the manual ...
Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing was created more than twenty years ago, and was first published in 1987. Software MacKiev’s involvement goes back to 1998 when our company developed version 9 for the Macintosh — both the US and UK editions. Then, a decade later, we had the opportunity to get involved with Mavis Beacon again — this time as the developer and publisher of a new generation of Mavis Beacon software for Mac OS X. We are so pleased and proud to be bringing the kind of quality you’ve come to expect from the creative labs of Software MacKiev to this new edition.
They really should change the name of the product. By the way, Mavis Beacon is an invented person, but her image is from a 1985 picture of Renee Le'Esperance.
It took me quite a while to sort out the Encore vs. MacKiev story, but now you know.
Once I had the package in hand, but before I bothered to use it, I could score this product using Gordon's Laws of software acquisition:
  1. Excellent web site and a current updater: +1
  2. Proprietary installer: 0
  3. Needs uninstaller, none provided, no uninstall directions: -1
  4. No DRM: +2
  5. Can use without CD installed: +1
  6. No trial version: 0
  7. Support site quality: +1
  8. No developer blog: 0
  9. Obvious pride in work: +2
  10. Beautiful full color paper manual (as well as well formatted PDF): +2
Overall score: 8 out of a max of 13. A passing score, but they'd do much better if they'd document an uninstall procedure. The paper manual, which feels like a relic of another era, pushed them into a respectable range.
The install is a 600MB package in the normal Applications folder. As best I can tell it doesn't install anything else. I suspect the uninstall is a simple package to trash delete. If they'd only documented that they'd have gotten 11/13!
I installed from my admin account, removed the CD, and launched from the kids user account. I downloaded and applies the latest patch. That patch was labeled as a '10.6 upgrade' but it includes some functional changes. It installed well in 10.5 and 10.6 in my testing. You don't need the CD to run the software, everything is installed to disk (you do need disk space, but that's not an issue for most users any more).
The only minor glitch was that I installed in an account that didn't have iTunes setup and it complained. It asked me to install iTunes first. It comes with its own music set, so iTunes isn't even needed.
We've just begun using the product, but, really, I'm impressed. It's elegant, fast on my older G5 as well as the iMac, and it's a rich product. Two of our three kids went at it immediately, the girl doing lessons and the boy doing games. It's designed for multiple users. In the 'Learning account' each user gets their own login. User profiles can be exported and imported.

The Town Of Beacon Mac Os 11


PPS. Amazon's top rated Mavis Beacon is 1994's version 8 for Windows 3.1 by 'Mindscape'- it's still for sale. I wonder if there's any other 16 year old software sold on Amazon? Thanks to that version we can see how Mavis Beacon has changed over time. I wonder which is closest to the original model?
