- It's your lucky day :-). I'm one of the people who wrote Beaker. It can
- be purchased from Brooks/Cole Publishing, 408-373-0728. I don't remember
- exactly what it costs, but with the educational discount it will be less
- than your Organic textbook. They also have a severely crippled demo
- version that is (I think) free.

- I'm obviously biased, so I won't say much about the program itself, other
- than that it does a good job with the chemistry, but the user interface
- needs improvement. But was that a good review or what? :-)
