Newton: Multimedia Lab for Exploring Mechanisms

While I believe the intent of these programs is education, there might be some really cool potential there. Some weeks back, I needed to come up with a 4 bar linkage. Granted, while I was in school, this would have been a no brainer. However, since that was so many years ago, I had to do some substantial review. I wonder if this program would have made it easier.

I do plan to download the demo and give it a try this month. If it works, its a real bargain.
