PC Therapist IV was published by MindWare in 1993, and the whole program fit on a 3.5" floppy disk. I don't mean the installer fit on the disk, but rather that program lived on the disk indefinitely and could be run from it directly.

Demoing the disk to those unfamiliar with it was consistently a riot, a more sophisticated version of the spring-snake-in-the-tin-of-toffee prank. One rube who sat down and typed "hello" immediately received the reply "shut the fuck up I want to talk about GURPS".
