"People for years have been explaining to me very patiently that in this era of giant screen monitors, we just have to do something about those menu bars way up there at the top of the screen" -- Tog, column 15, May 1990 He then describes an experiment where he used a 21-inch monitor and a 13-inch monitor attached to a Mac, and had subjects change the color of folders on one screen by selecting menu items on the other. Even compared to a pop-up menu right under the mouse, the far-off edge menu bar was still faster. Objects on a 2018 MacBook Pro can be 70% further apart (D) than on a 1984 Macintosh, but the edges of the screen are still infinitely big (W). |
