   Part of the blame has to go to Apple. Back then, they were very jealous of   
   other companies trying to do GUIs that looked even remotely like the   
   Macintosh in any way, shape or form. They sic’d their lawyers onto DR   
   because GEM had, of all things, pull-down menus.   
      
   Finally Kildall was able to appease the Apple hounds by having the menus   
   simply fall down when you moused over them.   
      
   (Yeah, I was an Apple Mac fan(atic) back then.)
