Putting aside my own recollection of using Mavis Beacon well before that, most of the computer systems mentioned three sentences later (including Apple II, Atari, Commodore 64) were not produced anymore anywhere near 1993. The 1993 date mentioned in the article (or at least implied by the article) simply can't be right.

The Macintosh version was released in Spring of '88. I'm curious about when this product was first released.- Brokenchairs 12:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC) Mavis Beacon 1.0 for PC, Apple II, Apple IIGS, Atari ST, Atari 400/800, Amiga and Commodore 64 first hit the store shelves Christmas of 1987. Meeting Lesperance, Duffy said, was "like Lana Turner being discovered at Schwab's (drugstore)."

We didn't have the money to pay for a pro model in the early days. rand recollection is, that the woman who appeared on the first Mavis Beacon box was just a saleswoman at a department store that Les Crane asked to pose for us. Who is she? Who was the first Mavis Beacon, the model/actress, that is? The woman who 'plays' Mavis Beacon is not the first MB. Mavis Beacon was one of the premier typing instruction programs for years. Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.139.115.67 ( talk) 22:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)Ĭertainly worthy of inclusion here, although this article needs to be fleshed out. In the same way telivison shows such as the numerious Nicktoons of the 90's have become icons. This page needs a refrence on how the typing program has become a cultural icon of children of the 90's.
