Open Office is the reigning champ. Thunderbird weighs in more than Mail.app
and, I'm surprised to see, Firefox.
XEmacs is still up there, but that's XEmacs-sumo which has every extension
known to man plus the elisp source code. If you strip out the elisp its down
to 74375K. Just xemacs, no source, no sumo, is 31620K. But its the most
bang for the bits as you get an editor, a graphical web browser, several
mail clients AND you can play tetris and psychoanalyze-zippy!
