I seem to recall this same technique being used in the pre-OS X era of the Mac OS. Not sure exactly how far back, but I'd say at least into System 8 if not System 7.
- namenotrequired 14y agoYou're right, mac has been using this technique for a while. Actually trying it out right now, it still does this, but you need to move it fast. If you move it fast enough within the triangle it'll stay, while if you move it at the same speed straight down, the menu goes away immediately.
- bluedino 14y agoYou can also tell it doesn't seem to do it when you move the mouse back to the original menu item.
- lectrick 14y agoThere is a small delay, so they don't use the Amazon technique.
- namenotrequired 14y agoOh yes, you're right. You can tell they use the triangle technique though.
- sneak 14y agoIt was like this in System 7.0 at least, perhaps 6.x.
