Computer programs for drawing chemical structures and equations

[HazZy]

anyone know of any good computer programs used to make chemical structures and equations? i know of www.orgsyn.org but it's really a pain in the ass to use.

EDIT: fixed the link, there was a comma in the way

I haven't heard of such program. But I just wanted to say that the link didn't work...or do the mentors have to check it first?
