Drop Down Menus

When I'm working in any application, then click on the drop down menu, the
menu is not shown until I run the mouse down it. It used to be blue (I
think). How do I change it back?
 
Glad to hear it.

Windows doesn't have drop down menus. It's menus are combined Pull Down and Pop Up.

Pull Down
Depress left mouse button on menu bar item, move mouse pointer to item on menu you want, release button.

Pop Up
Click menu bar item, click menu item.

Drop Down
Move mouse cursor over menu bar item, click menu item. You can sort of see what this is like by pressing Alt + F then moving the cursor over the menu bar. I think GEM used drop down.

MS would rather track people. Remember noone here is considered an MS customer. Their web site is designed to make life easy for them.

I won't wait. It's poor design. If they were serious they would publish everything as text files like they used to. Text files progressively render.

I spent a month with telstra web site trying to buy extra services. They use MS technology so it never worked on any of the 4 things I trioed to buy. Telstra netwok's name was once MSN Network.

It took 4 hours to read the SMH today, as it does every day. They have fast servers but the first page goes via a registration server (you don't see it) which blocks access to the site. Not to mention breaking IE's text size feature (so I may need to copy the text to notepad to read). Though this at last was fixed. I tried complaining to the people in charge of the web. This journo left Fairfax because of their technical incompetence (http://margokingston.typepad.com - be quick as it's moving to a permanent site in a few days). I've been reading this paper for just under 40 years. My only alternatives are Murdoch papers, and while I may walk past Lachlan's house everyday I loathe his papers.

I'm tired of hitting Refresh 800 or 2000 (and I've sat their doing it for days so I can post a link) times to post a link to a site. Therefore I ban all links to MS site, haven't you noticed I always post google's cache of their pages.

A user requires feedback within 1/20th of a second. MS can't or won't do this because they use their own technology (designed for intranets).

Apparently Microsoft isn't aware of that fact.

There are several types of menus, including drop-down menus, shortcut
menus, and cascading menus. The following sections cover these menus in
more detail.

The Edit Menu
The View Menu

Yea, Murdoch had to get naturalized in order to own a TV network.

Like a flag of convenience for ships, Delaware is well known as a corporate
haven. It isn't that Delaware has no laws, it's Delaware’s General
Corporation Laws that make it the friendliest state in America for
corporations.

Why, is that you on the sidewalk? ;-)

That looks a lot nicer than here.
Overcast 9°F (-13°C) Wind Speed: NE 17 MPH and SNOWING!

The white ground that we have here is not sand beaches.

You know own murdoch. He became a yank years ago (when News Ltd bought
Fox), and News Ltd moved from Sth Aus, Australia to Delaware, USA last
year. Delaware has no laws (basically) so they can do what they want.

Lachlan's house is on the Southern headland at Bronte.

It's great. Spiders with webs strung everywhere so one get home with invisible spider webs on them that one can feel but can't see. Flies where there can be 200 flies hitching a ride on one person, esp in the AM hours (flies are morning people). Heat and humidity where one's clothes are drenched in sweat and if one goes into a shop little drops of water fall at your feet and one's eyes sting.

Winter is beautiful in Sydney. Clear sunny days, cool but can wear just T-shirts if one is in the sun.

I saw snow when I was 8 (and when mum was pregnant with me as well but I don't remember that time). I've seen snow fall at 14 (it snowed for 1/2 an hour) as I went to school in the mountains.
 
It's 100.5°F here at the moment (38.8°C), only 7 days into summer.

Summer begins on November 30 in Australia? I thought it was December 22.
