Edinburgh, Scotland. 18th June 2002

Runtime Revolution today released Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor 2.3. The new

version brings full Mac OS X compatibility to Ten Thumbs, along with other

enhancements, refinements, and new features.

Ten Thumbs has received critical acclaim for its easy-to-use, step-by-step

approach to learning keyboard skills:

* Fun on screen characters help to engage learners.

* Skill tests provide feedback and target areas for additional practice.

* A structured set of tutorials guides learners in their study.

Ten Thumbs is appropriate for learners of all ages, and is used in schools,

at home, in colleges, universities and industries, including call centers

and financial services organizations.

"We're delighted to bring our multi-award winning Ten Thumbs package to Mac

OS X -- it's the first keyboard-skills package to make it onto Mac OS X,"

said Kevin Miller, Runtime's Managing Director. "Touch typing is to a

computer what learning to steer is to a car. It's great that OS X users now

have an easy and fun program to learn this essential skill."
