Well, I like shipping better than I like waiting, and when Garrett has free time you take advantage of it, otherwise, you might not get this feature this year, if your willing to wait another 6 months then push for smaller dlls, personally, new features make my product base grow not shrink. I do respect your opinion, I just disagree with it, people use our product because it provides features and abilities our competition doesn't, not becuase it loads 150 milliseconds faster. > On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 09:41:39 -0700 (PDT), > mike.griffin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > <mike.griffin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> I don't really care about the size of it, come on, this is 2004 and >> we're >> squeamish about another 300 500k?
