Of course, the few programs I've seen leave the menu bar there, but with a
program name or copyright message in it until you hit the menu button.  To
me, this is an even more sinful waste of screen space than menus are supposed
to be!  (And on a machine that was short-changed on vertical pixel count
to boot.)  

Me, I _like_ my Mac (and my parents like thiers, too).  For the class of tasks
it was designed to do it does an excellent job.
