Is there a program that could teach someone how to type?

    My father is an expert at the "Hunt & Peck" typing technique...(Where they spend about 5 minutes "hunting" for one key, find it, and "peck" at it.)...but he wants to learn how to actually type.
    I know in school we used to have programs that helped us learn how to type, and I was curious, are there any programs like that out there?

    Eh, Wal-mart...
    But that's not a bad price. I'll consider it, thanks! ^^
    I suppose MajorGeeks doesn't have anything like that though, no? Well I'll just have to keep my eyes open if something like that appears on MG, otherwise I'll buy that program for him.
    Thanks much! ;)

    There are some freeware programs....you'd just have to google it.....but Mavis is considered one of the best.
