Does it matter?. I'm thinking of a chemistry fume hood or laboratory where
standard procedures are carried out such as boiling, dissolving, stirring,
filtering or drying. A chemist would take reagents and mix them. I wasn't
expecting that there would be police and criminals - this would distract
from trying to get the basic objects created. I'd like it to interact with
simple logging information and perhaps some remote interactivity though this
will depend very much on the software.
