interesting. well, I guess I'll wait for someone to check it out. if it's
possible, I'd rather keep the name.

hmm yeah, I thought about it and tomgirl is kinda weird and I don't entirely
like chickboy...
for info, chickboy is a rather new slang that has the same meaning as tomboy.
but I admit it sounds kinda weird as a program name.

well, I'll think about it more if I have to.
