This entire issue was covered at one time, but I hadn't paid enough attention
when it was discussed in this news group.  I recall someone posting to the
net, a patent number which Apple supposedly had (or was it a patent
application number?) on their pull down menus or other such look and feel
aspect of the Macintosh user-interface.  I had thought that all Apple had
was a visual copyright on their interface.  If they do have patents, could
someone tell me what they were for?  The whole issue has suddenly more
interesting for me.  I apologize for bring this topic up since I'm sure it
was dragged back and forth in this group for a long time...  Thanx much!
