I had a look at Active Labs site this lunchtime (13:30 GMT) and found it
straightforward to use. The applet(s) loaded in a few seconds and I
had the pKa, logP and B.P. of acetone amd acetic acid inside five
minutes including figuring out the structure drawing functions.
I was impressed and for one would like to see more of this type of
thing on the web.
As for
>> NOTHING HAPPENED FOR 30 SECONDS.
well, what's so unusual about that? This is the WWW we're talking
about - waiting 5 or 10 minutes to download simple html is not
unusual. (not on this side of the Altantic anyway) We shouldn't get
unrealistic in our expectations of things on the web - its unreliable
- who would do a live WWW demo before an audience and with no
safety net for example?
