I wouldn't think they'd be any bigger than (say) a Quark Xpress document 
with a lot of MSWeird text, some Aldobe Freehand graphics, a Photoshop 
scan or two, etc.

AOCE would at least alleviate the bloating of our apps as one program 
tries to do all.

I'd rather have the occassional 1.4 meg document (that might be 200k 
today) than deal with a 19mb application that does little most of the time.
