User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work on Windows
Answer:	"Mavis Beacon Keyboarding Kidz" has not been test on Win 10. However, it is compatible with both 32bit and 64 bit version of Win 7. We have not seen a title that runs on Win7(64bit) that will not run on Win8 and 10.
Question:	is there a way to purchase for a whole school to use in the computer lab
Answer:	The is not a network version, so you would have to purchase and install a copy to each computer. The downside is that the CD would always have to be in the computer when running the program and each student would always have to be at the same computer to pick up from where they left off. You may want to look at a network product or at the very least, one that loads to the hard drive. Here's a link to a typing tutor that does both. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001FYX9PI/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new I can send you to a link for a demo download outside of Amazon, if you would like. Thanks, Max

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the release date
Answer:	These glasses are mainly designed to filter light emitted from your monitors so you'll still be protected. However, general eye health wise, it is still better to work and game in good ambient light conditions.
Question:	Will this work on a MAC
Answer:	Hello! If you have purchased from us (jassu) it would definitely be the correct item! :)These Low Color Distortion lenses are designed to reduce the amount of noticeable color offset to a minimum. The amount of yellow tint that you see depends on a few factors such as brightness/color of the image that you are viewing. If you hold the glasses up against a plain white image/paper under good lighting you should be able to see the yellow tint. Hope this helps, please feel free to contact us via the messaging tool if you have any other questions/comments. Cheers! :)
Question:	Can this program be used with multiple kids
