Virtual Chemistry Lab

Hi everyone, I was curious if anyone here has had any experience using a virtual chemistry lab program. I searched around the forums for it and didn't find any threads about this already. I did some google work and found a few different good ones, but wanted to get some other folk's opinions before I started downloading or even paying for some of them.

Thanks!

I have worked with one made by an online chemistry course.

Cool, was it a browser plug-in type deal or a downloadable and install file? Do you remember the name of it?

Well actually it's not accessible to the public.

Virtuality is no substitute for Reality.

Never can be really.

Virtuality can only ever encompass the Known.

The Unknown will always be in Reality.

Edit

Basically Do it for Real and Learn by Direct experience.
Virtual systems will never ever be able to give you the same experience, and certainly never give you the opportunity to discover anything New.
