No! No! No! I hate popup menus. Pull down menus work fine for me on any monitor.
A menu bar with pull down menus lets you see what chioces you have and
encourages you to browse. With multi-button mice and crtl key button
combinations you must remember what combination gives you what menu. This can
be very confusing for the beginner, I'm trying to teach physics students how to
use Xwindows without much luck. 
Popup menus also mean each program has its own interface.What happens when
you have a program with 7 to 10 menus? The ctrl-button combos start looking
like a MS-DOS function key interface.

Apple has earned a gold star for bring us a humane interface.
