OK, I could see that, I suppose. Although even 2M isn't an enormous 
download by most of today's standards, I don't think. And the player is 
2.4M (though obviously it only needs to be downloaded once unless there 
are auto updates involved).

So I can see if you had a business where you were creating lots of 
stackware apps for an installed base that could all have the Player 
installed then each download of your stuff would be small and painless. 
I'm not sure what business or business model that would be, but I can 
imagine it is possible.
