These are a set of HTML slides presented during the virtual launch of Chemical Markup Language in 1998-04. This was an exciting and novel event. It was sponsored by Chemweb Ltd. (then a division of MDL, managed by Bill Town) and the infrastructure was provided by VEI (through Barry Hardy). The slides were loaded onto a server and the particpants registered (free) to observer these in serial order. All communication was text but bidirectional (participants could text the presenters).This was a series of virtaul lectures presented by ChemWeb. PeterMR, HenryR and Wendy Warr (moderator) sat in Henry's office/lab in Imperial College. Over 500 participants registered. For most of them it was a completely new experience and most coped well. However due to the large ättendance" the server became overloaded at times. There were discussion boards and comments were left on these but I expect they have decayed. The menu system has been added in 2004 to allow navigation of the material. Note that PM-R was Director of the Virtual School of Molecular Sciences in the School of Pharmacy in Nottingham. Note that most if not all of the external links will probably be defunct.
