added this page because Touch Typist is the earliest Typing Tutor program

I have added this page because Touch Typist is the earliest Typing Tutor program that is currently on sale, It was put on sale before the Mavis Beacon software and all the other typing tutor software programs that are mentioned in wikipedia.

I believe Touch Typist has its place in history as the earliest of Typing tutors, especially as it has been on continuous sale and has sold hundreds of thousands of copies over 24 years.

I would be interested to know why other typing tutor software programs, Many written years later and not still on sale, are allowed on Wikipedia if Touch Typist is not when it is part of typing tutor history.

I have written this as a historical page, not as a selling page for a product. I have concentrated on the types of languages used etc.

I have added the reference so that Touch Typist does not lose its place in history as being the oldest selling of this type of product.

Please improve the page, or it could be in danger of deletion. Deb (talk) 18:53, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some improvements to this page, but I need to scan historic photographs of the software on sale at The ZX Microfair in 1985 and learn how to make the page look more attractive. I will add more details as I re-read the article and try to make it more interesting to readers looking at historical computing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by David Batty (talk • contribs) 19:49, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
