Well, I guess mine is big by Squeak standards: I've made absolutely no
attempts to shrink it and, well, the possibility of saving 1 meg on a 10
Gig drive doesn't exactly come high on my schedule of priorities. But,
yes, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was debugging stuff and all
kinds of junk in there. But it works fine!

Still, I think that compared to other things, this is pretty small. 

Later this year (or early next) I'll try some radical shrinking: I want
to make the Rolodex deployable.

Cheers

John
