This is really neat! One of the biggest advantages of Java is that
the user doesn't have to do anything to download the code.
You just bring up the web page and your browser does the rest.

If you have a Java-capable browser (Netscape 3.01 or IE 3?), you
should REALLY try this. Please note that it's still a sophisticated
graphics program, and therefore it is big enough to take a while to
download (20 seconds at 64kbps) and will run better on a faster
computer.

If you're interested in molecular modelling, do this immediately, for
that
reason alone if for no other. If you're interested in Java , this is a
pretty example. As a transhuman and/or extropian, try this to see a
clear
example of the way a powerful software tool (Java and its development
tools)
can now be used and delivered to all.
