# damn
you're right. it's working for a yankee drug company that made me miss that.

# 'sulfur' is, unfortunately
the name that IUPAC say everyone has to use.

Don't even get me started on 'Aluminum'.

# Well...
Not wanting to be a pedant... but if its IUPAC, then its Sulfur...
though, I, too, mourn the passing Sulphur.

# The passing of sulphur?
The guy at the next desk just did that. Pwaw!

When you pour the electrolyte in, there's a rather hefty smell of hydrogen sulphide released.

# chemsketch?
linky please. pretty please
[edit] is it anything like rasmol?

# Chemsketch...
Does 2d and 3d stuff, and lets you build your own special molecular friends...

# cool
rasmol is really for larger, more complex molecular structures, and doesn't look quite as much fun

# I made a wee molecule thing a while back
in flash

I did one in director 3d too, that can open up CML files from programs like chemsketch.

that's really rather good, y'know

# Director one is better as you can apply textures to surfaces etc
but I did the flash one at home, and the director one on work time - so I can't post it - even though it's never been used for anything.
