Global menus were fine on a shoebox-style Mac with a 512 by 342 pixel, 9 inch screen. On a current iMac, with a 2560 by 1440 pixel, 27 inch screen – more than 20 times the number of pixels and nine times the area –, maybe not quite so. Not to mention that the current MacOS is more amenable to running more than one program at the same time, which way back when wasn't really a big issue.

Don't worry, Apple is fixing that -- the next version of OSX "Lion" is apparently going to have as a major new emphasis full-screen apps.
