Gag. I helped a buddy put OS 8.1 on his box and we didn't waste any time
downloading and installing Teflon. It's a control panel that turns off those
annoying sticky menus.

I use Winflate, which is a control panel that works like Windowshade on
Macs. It scrunches windows down to just the title bar.
