Also, the will be more like a surprise then. And btw, I doubt it will be the
subject of discussion for a very long time. And if it is, you will get lots
of people telling you to do this and this and how they'd like to have that
done, etc.
I think that can be _very_ annoying.

Well a lot of bad programs tend to use a lot of RAM (!Windows! and actually
most PC programs nowadays. I mean, it's redicilous to have a 1,71 MB
executable for a bit extended download-manager (in this case, Getright)!!!
While they can be so small, there are several examples of well-coded small
programs. Virii are the best ones, imho. Happy99 was pretty cool)...
But let's not let this evolve in another "Windows is bad" discussion...
