Any reason I should give in & spend 10's &

10's of dollars to get a Merck Index of

Chemicals? Other than a fondness for reading

about weird compounds?

There are all sorts of Chemistry sites online

that I don't really feel the need to get any

textbooks full of weird Knowledge.

Exactly.

i like using the merck but you have a point .

but i have it even when my intert net is down or i dont want to log in .

i am in the middle of some thing and i really dont have a puter at swims lab ..
