	Nov 15 2005	TOTALCONTROLPRINT Great program. I like to see a few more full numeric keypad drills added please. After a while one starts getting used to the one only available full keypad drill. I'd also like to request some U.K., drills. (Version 4.0.4)		0

	Nov 2 2004	DARYL Master Key is a fantastic program. It's extremely easy to install. The user interface is designed very well to work on Mac and PC. The layout and colors used make it an appealing program for adults and children. The Typing Tutor documents all attempts at drills and can produce graphs and statistics of your results. I can't fault the program and would highly reccommend it to any family/ school or adult who wishes to improve their typing skills (Version 3.1.4)		0

	Oct 6 2004	ANONYMOUS The biggest flaw in this program, in my opinion, is the drill always place a single space after a period. It leaves hand watchers like myself, who already understand punctuation making not only an ungodly amount of errors, but killing our WPM. (Version 3.1.4)		0

JAY LICHTENAUER There is an option for single or double spaces in the preferences

JOHN ENDAHL The standard has changed. In her excellent book "The Mac is not a Typewriter," Robin Williams explains that double-spaces after closing punctuation is no longer necessary with proportional fonts, and can actually cause problems when doing page layout.

	Sep 1 2004	JONANGUS Couldn't get it to work. 'Drills' wouldn't load, despite some minutes of trying. So I've given up. (I'm using OS 10.3). If this can be fixed, I'm still willing to give it a try. (Version 3.1.4)		0

JAY LICHTENAUER The application Master Key must be in the same folder as the Drills folder in the single-user configuration. Please contact me directly for tech support.

	May 26 2004	WESLEY I like this little program. Quite creative. On my older machine, however, the window didn't re-size properly, so I can't see the bottom - in fact, I have no idea how much of the window might be hidden. Otherwise, a fun little game. (Version 3.0.3)		0

JAY LICHTENAUER The game requires a 800x600. All Macs that are fast enough will support this resolution.
