Typing skills

I'm currently in the process of teaching my dad how to use the computer. Can anyone recommend a good program for developping typing skills?

I was going to suggest that :-)

Typing of the dead you can pick up for feck all and is a lot more stimulating than "meaves beacon teach yourself typing" or any of that other stuff....

Twill teach you to type fast if you play a bit alright.
