While I agree that Keyboarding skills are important to have (in my experience at least) Keyboarding classes are a boring PITA that didn't really help me improve my typing skill or accuracy at all. What did help was taking a Programming class in High School where being able to type quickly and accurately was useful, that is when I developed those skills, not Keyboarding class. So give them something that would hopefully encourage them to learn the proper way to type with maybe a intro to Keyboarding week so they learn how they are supposed to hold their hands to prevent bad posture and other such things, and let the fun things actually improve their skills.

Really? I just looked at one of my game boxes and it said 'Supreme Commander' on the front, not 'A License to use Supreme Commander'. Why should I assume that I'm just buying a license for the game when it makes no mention of it anywhere on the front of the product?
And it would be perfectly truthful to say I'm not going to give that info out to random people on the Internet. Being truthful doesn't mean you can't have secrets, just that you don't lie.

They need some way to fund their defence case (or at least I'm guessing that is the reasoning behind it)
