Software MacKiev’s involvement goes back to 1998 when our company developed version 9 for the Macintosh - both the US and UK editions. Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing was created more than twenty years ago, and was first published in 1987. This is a new version of an old product, as noted in the manual. I think they're confused.Īpple sells the MacKiev version. Sadly, that's the only version Amazon ships directly. (There's an interesting back story to this - note the MacKiev Mavis Beacon manual still says 'Broderbund' on the front.)Īs best I can tell the Encore Mavis Beacon OS X software is a derelict and abandoned product that's sold cheaply but worth nothing. This product is not to be confused with the similar sounding 'Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing' product sold by Encore.
After evaluating much cheaper alternatives, I purchased the $40 Software MacKiev version of 'Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing'.
