Ideas for using a Chemistry Whiteboard



 Dear Internet Chemist,
 ChemWeb asked Cherwell Scientific to give a virtual lecture on JavaBeans
 for Chemistry which is now on the ChemWeb site. See extract from their
 announcement, below.
 The most interesting thing about this lecture was the Chemistry Whiteboard
 which VEI had put together from the ChemSymphony Beans (VEI specialise in
 organising electronic conferences and manage the lecture series). We think
 they have some cool ideas about how to use Beans interactively.
 Take a look at it if you want to get a 'feel' for what a Java chemistry
 Whiteboard can do. Once you have looked at it, you may want to ask a
 colleague to join you in a sketching session at the Virtual Whiteboard.
 Using the Whiteboard leads to speculation about possible developments. If
 you have ideas about specific 'must have' applications for a chemistry
 WhiteBoard reply direct to me or to this list. We offer a Magnum of
 champagne (or equivalent present) to the best idea submitted and I will
 produce a summary of replies received for the list.
