What do you want to use it for? If it is just for molecular shapes there is FREE software which you can use.

I never got to play with them at school - the teacher brought them out once or twice in my whole time from standard grade to advanced higher!

My teacher got them out at every available chance

Hmm maybe I was deprived. (Was 4 different teachers, should they all be struck off?)
I was teaching my higher friend all about polar covalent molecules and hydrogen bonding today. I like chem.

Buckyballs are in unit 1 as an example of a covalent molecular structure.

We have jus finished looking at the polar / non polar stuff.....teacher got most annoyed coz sheets were asking us to draw ethyl ethanoate... and he thought it was to draw as a full structural molecule

Yup its kinda similar to a benzene ring hexagon bit but its got 60 carbon atoms in it and its actually unsaturated where benzene isn't
edit:do you mean your teacher didnt know how to draw ethyl ethanoate!
