Virtual MS Lab
The Virtual Mass Spectrometry Lab is a joint project between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. There are some nice virtual reality views of real-life instruments, but the coolest thing is the virtual instrument pages that allow you to run experiments based on HTML form input. The frame-based interface is a little clunky and the data acquisition and analysis panels could use clickable help links, but it is fun to spend a few minutes doing GCMS runs without getting up from your chair.
