    Much of their stuff looks as though it is designed to work on any 
operating system using any browser as long as it is Windows XP SP2 and 
Internet Explorer version 6.1 . When my installation had loaded in its 
Java plug in, the molecular formulae all showed as blank.  The content 
of their sample book reminds me of the electronic OUP Dictionnary of 
Science, i.e.  terrible.

   It is clear that an IT online needs material with added functionnalty 
like the Knovel sample book. Add in a recommendation that augmented 
functionality of tables, equations and graphs is attractive but the 
hardware and software implications need examining, and suitable material 
from IT needs identifying.
