   By the way, saying that "You're arguments about the size of the program are
   stupid" doesn't seem appropriate coming from a CS graduate student.  It may
   not be important to you, but it is an important design issue.  Unless you
   intend to stay in academia forever, it's something to keep in mind (and that
   is not to say it's not important in academia, also).

I meant that software size isn't important unless it affects
performance.  I think I said this in one of my posts.  On the NeXT it
isn't a big deal to have a program that is 2MB.
