I'm an avid supporter of "Mavis Bacon Teaches Typing".  It costs about
$49.95.  It uses awesome graphics, for example showing your hand and
finger positions on the keys as you type, in addition to a game-like
car race course event in which you type words.  It displays statistics
on how well you are doing using bar graphs, percentages, etc.
