I found myself thinking of those airtight boxes with gloves used in biology labs and that led to Scissorhands Claw (as in Toy Story) Less frivolous: Extensor Pert (Pharo Extended with Remote Tools. pert 1. a. High-spirited, lively, or cheerful: A pert receptionist greets each client. b. Impudently bold; saucy: He was pert to his teacher. She gave a pert answer. 2. a. Attractive or stylish in appearance: a pert hat. b. Small or firm and well-formed: a pert nose. and hence pert means sexy) _,,,^..^,,,_ (phone)

Since we will push the remote tools (videos/web...) I would like to get some ideas for a cool name. Any ideas?
Because Pharmide (looks like medicine or chemical product). Since I vaguely remember some german Pharmide made me think about Fern(sehen) but this is not a good name.
For a change, I'm lacking original ideas :P But of other suggestions, I like...
Phresnel from Fresnel lenses [1] used in lighthouses to be visible over greater distances Good googability and a *great* fit for Pharo's lighthouse theme. There is one competing project https://github.com/lobid/Phresnel but it looks abandoned and ranks low in searches.
PharoAfar Except its a bit of a tongue twist and I'd shorten it to Pharofar, and maybe Pharophar. far = at, to, or by a great distance
Pharoscope from Pharo + Telescope Related terms: borescope, oscilloscope, spectroscope.
So far Phresnel is my phavorite.
