Fat, maybe. Obese, no. To me, a 26meg zip file for a "client" that expands to 45meg on disk seems excessive. I would have a tough time requiring that customers install this, if I wanted to use this to communicate with them. Assuming they are iNation members, of course.

BTW, I noticed, in Task Manager (XP Pro) that this thing bounces between 2% and 6% CPU utilization - it's constantly chugging away in what, to me, seems a fairly intensive manner. And that does not include popping up alerts.
