I _REALLY LIKE_ menus at the top of the screen.  I can just 'throw' the mouse
up and rest assured in the knowledge that the mouse won't overshoot the menus.
A simple fine-tuning gets me to the menu I want.  Menu items are wide, but not
very tall.  Homing in on them vertically would be a real pain.  Homing in 
horizontally has never been a problem.

Just an opposing opinion.
