I'm in the market for a good typing tutor program for a thirteen year old boy. He likes video games and is pretty smart, but doesn't know how to type at all. I know a number of you have or know children around that age - if anyone could recommend one that does a good job of making learning to type correctly fun and effective, I would be grateful. Less than 40 dollars would be preferable.

Typing of the Dead.
Best fun you'll have learning to touch type.

Yup, typing of the dead is pretty good.
If you are looking for something free and still servicable, if not as exciting, I also reccomend
Klavaro which has support for other keyboard types.

Klavaro looks okay, thanks. Typing of the Dead looks hilarious, but I'm seeing a huge disconnect between a 17+ rated game and a product marketed at preteens... Plus, concerns of actually getting a console port from 2000 to work on Vista/Seven.

*** Edited out - cursory google indicates that the software recommended would only run on 95 or 98, so a bit damn dated by now***
