- I don't mind the 400k of libraries just for a slightly better look than
- Gadtools, but then that may be because I have 1.3GB of hard drives. About the
- only thing that annoys me (but only very slightly) about a MUI program at the
- moment is the way AmFTP refreshes its window several times in a row
- occasionally.
