Buffer Maker is built around the powerful pH engine able to calculate pH
of any solution, so it is not plagued by limitations present in the
programs using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Huge editable database,
ability to prepare buffers from any reasonable set of reagents (acid+salt,
acid+hydroxide, salt+strong acid and so on), suggestions of buffers with
highest buffer capacity for the given pH and intuitive user interface make
the Buffer Maker ultimate solution for any lab work.

With no buffer calculations, what would we torture first and second
year chem students with?

Plenty of ideas. Their favorite is most likely Nernst equation :)
Besides, you can easily tell whether student used Buffer Maker or not. BM
takes many things into account, like Kw changes with temperature,
dependence of A (from Debye-Huckel equation) on temperature and so on. No
student will take all these into account, so if the student result is
identical with BM calculations, you know s/he cheated :)
