It's your lucky day :-).  I'm one of the people who wrote Beaker.  It can
be purchased from Brooks/Cole Publishing, 408-373-0728.  I don't remember
exactly what it costs, but with the educational discount it will be less
than your Organic textbook.  They also have a severely crippled demo
version that is (I think) free.

I'm obviously biased, so I won't say much about the program itself, other
than that it does a good job with the chemistry, but the user interface
needs improvement.  But was that a good review or what? :-)
