	Sep 12 2009	WARD It's been nearly two years since Classic Menu 2.8.1 was released, and the developer's site is silent about Snow Leopard. Are there any current Classic Menu users who've tried it on Snow Leopard? (Version 2.8.1)		0

JACK OVERFULL Yes: it works without a problem.

	Nov 27 2007	BILL SCHJELDERUP Thanks for the 2.8 update. Classic Menu is one of my "must have" applications, and I'm very pleased that the developer continues to enhance the product as well as keeping it current with OS releases. Never a problem, it just works as expected. Well worth the shareware fee. (Version 2.8)		0

	Nov 5 2007	DANA SUTTON No, sorry. Since Fruit Menu is currently broken under Leopard, I'm shopping around for an alternative. This isn't it. I want a Classic-style Apple Menu where I can access my own stuff IN ADDITION to the stuff you can access from the OSX Apple Menu, not INSTEAD OF that stuff. With this, I would lose as much as I would gain. (Version 2.7.6)		0

SERGIUS Apparently you didn't look very closely. This app gives you both full access to the OS X menu items (About, Update, Dock, Log Out, etc.) and a very good replication of the functionality of the classic Apple menu, including whatever of your own stuff you want to put in there. I've been using it for years and hate when I have to use someone else's Mac that doesn't have it.

	Jul 12 2006	WILMA An excellent program I have used dozens of times daily since 2003. Although not as customizable as Uninsanity's FruitMenu, I find it easier to use. Configuration works the same way as Classic's menu, which means you can simply copy folder contents to get identical pull-down menus in X and Classic. Hold down the Control key, and you get Apple's standard OS X apple menu. The program is extremely stable, and works just fine with every other app I have tried it with. Five stars! (Tip: I also use X-Assist to give me a pull-down applications menu next to Spotlight.) (Version 2.7.5)		0

	Nov 10 2005	IZOE I tried an earlier version of this but found I did not like the app running an icon in the dock. NOW this has been elimiated and this hack is a good little application! It certainly has room to grow, and this is the reason the price is a little steep right now; especially since there are similar, freeware alternatives available; i.e. Butler, TigerLaunch, RocketLauncher. But please, keep up the good work; I LOVE the return of the Apple Menu!! (Version 2.7.5)		0

	Feb 19 2005	ANONYMOUS My brain is working perfectly, and that's why I can decide for myself which program I want to use to go to the stuff I need. There is nothing wrong with a apple-menu. Something isn't better because it is new. Although this version is a little bit slow in responding. If you crazy abaut dock, use windows. bob (Version 2.7.4)		0

IZOE Turn off the "show file icons" in the Preferences. I found that this speeds up things quite a bit.

	Sep 14 2004	JIMW I use "Mr 9 Menu 1.2", have for years, and it's free. You might want to try it before spending $10 on this. It is available on MacUpdate. (Version 2.7.4)		0

	Sep 14 2004	ANONYMOUS People still use (and PAY) for this stuff? I find it sad and unbelievable that 5 years isn't enough for any living human with brain function to get used to a better way of doing things. (Version 2.7.4)		0

ANONYMOUS I really, really hope that the "better way" you're talking about isn't the Dock. It's a almost useless abomination. Why are you posting a review of a product you obviously have no interest in and almost certainly haven't used. Shut up, please.

ANONYMOUS Try 'when registering with a cracked license code'. This only happens to people who are trying to steal the software.
