I would like to know why so many people complain about the size of the .exe
file?  For one thing, as the programs get larger the size of the file
becomes more irrelevant.  

And besides, 120K doesn't seem that large to me anyway.  I was just
wondering why some people are making a big deal out of this.

Thanks.
