Tim, perhaps we should turn things around and ask the question, "What
chemistry software would be appropriate for highschool use"? There
appears there may be people out there interested in writing chemistry
software. I've come by a book titled "Chemistry with a Computer". I
haven't really looked at it, but it appears to be elementary. Anyway
another thought.
