I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't even use TF3D anymore and it doens't bug me.
Man, that is so funny. I've been around for quite some time. My first computer ever had 2KB of RAM. That's 2048 bytes. Just for you newcomers to have an idea this icon has double that (4KB). This is the original machine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_ZX80) which had actually half that capacity. Mine was a second generation device (http://www.homecomputer.de/pages/f_i...ital_TK83.html).

I spent one month's salary to by a 16KB expansion module for that machine.

Now, we are considering something taking up 10MB space trivial. That's equivalent of 5,000 of those TK83s!

Sorry. Just a nostalgia moment on my part. Carry on!

Cheers.
