Ultimate Mac Geekiness – read at your productivity’s peril.I was looking through my bookmarks menu today and caught myself worrying about how long I’d had the menu dragged down. Why? Because in the years before modern operating systems there was a thing called co-operative multitasking (as opposed to pre-emptive multitasking which is used on most systems now) and one way of crashing another application or screwing up a disk burn or interrupting a track playing was to hold a menu open long enough that the other application needed process time. I must have only encountered this a couple of times in the whole of my use of these operating systems, but to this day I find I don’t like holding menus down for long periods.
