It's amusing that people still think of Smalltalk as big. The entire VisualWorks install - uncompressed - on this Windows box is about 300 MB. That's for the entire thing, all add ons, everything. So here I am, downloading the Oracle client libraries for Windows - 596 MB compressed. 596 MB compressed, for the client libraries? I think people need to look at other things when they use the word bloat
