Cool Geometry Program

Tom Davis has produced a cool geometry program and he'd like to get some input on it. You can find the program at
http://www.geometer.org/geometer
The program is similar to Geometer's Sketchpad, but is more user-friendly for those who like to fiddle with the nuts and bolts themselves (i.e. those with a programming mentality - you can write scripts in code, etc.) Also, the program is FREE.
Tom would like people to go through downloading and playing with the program and give him feedback (you'll find his email on the page). Please play with the program and email Tom your feedback - tell him I sent you... (Send a message to Tom even if you don't find bugs so he knows how many people are playing with it/testing it.)
Some of you know Tom - he's a frequent instructor at the various math circles in the Bay Area, and the MC at West Coast ARML. Check out his webpage for other cool stuff, including notes from some of his Math Circles, and a Rubik's Cube program.
