OK, sorry. I'm not proposing a new feature.

Bob, you have brought about such amazing advances in Jmol that I've 
quite lost a sense of what is feasible and what is not. So that's why 
I end trying things that strike you as weird.

Thanks for the explanation.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
