And can I sum up 10 years of the "Chemical Web" with this peer into the future: http://ipoddernet.sourceforge.net/ where one cultural phenomenon of the times is married to another (RSS) in having audio downloads to your iPod. There is a fair bit of analogy between a music track and "a molecule". PS A 1-day conference touching on many such chemical themes will be held at Cambridge on December 7th 2004. A special issue of the RSC journal OBC (issue 22) has a number of articles on this, including this one http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/OB/b4/b410732b/original/ PS This is NOT the published article (which is only available to those with an RSC subscription) but the SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION). -- Henry Rzepa. +44 (020) 7594 5774 (Voice); +44 (0870) 132 3747 (eFax); rzepahs@mac.com (iChat) http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/ Dept.
