The
Macintosh menu at the left end of the menu bar, indicated by the
Apple logo. A quick and simple way to gain access to
control panels,
desk accessories,
applicaitons,
folders, or anything else you choose to put in the
Apple Menu Items folder. I have an
alias of all my hard drives in the Apple Menu, so every application and document on my computer is
one click away. In addition, the Apple Menu contains easy access to
memory allocation information and apps' "about" boxes. A well-organized Apple Menu is usually a sign of some decent level of Macintosh
proficiency.
Shamelessly ripped off by Microsoft's still inferior Start button. In danger of being inadequately replaced by the Mac OS X dock.
