+	<li> <b>10 April 2001 - Graph of Busybox Growth </b>
+
+	<br> The illustrious Larry Doolittle has made a PostScript chart of the growth
+	of the Busybox tarball size over time. It is available for downloading /
+	viewing <a href= "busybox-growth.ps"> right here</a>.
+
+	<p> (Note that while the number of applets in Busybox has increased, you
+	can still configure Busybox to be as small as you want by selectively
+	turning off whichever applets you don't need.)
