From a long line of them, and not yet.  And I'm glad to see that
I'm still in the "Inclined" column, and not yet in the
"severely-minded" column.

I don't object to the simple existence of these cute items;
however, in a severely RAM-limited environment like a Plus or
Classic (and it won't be long before the 10 meg limit on the LC
will seem crowded), every byte counts.  If you want the cutesies
on your 128MB fx with the 660MB Wren Runner, fine.  On my Plus
w/40 meg Quantum (there are still bunches of these previously
expensive systems in use, and even Apple is selling a Classic
2/40), spare me the 20 bytes that each cutesie costs in RAM and
couple of K it costs in disk space.  Give me that space to be
productive in, not to watch Apple's moving pictures in.
