Yup! I got that Tom Lehrer album back around 1963-64 and just loved it. 
I have mp3s of the entire thing.
Aah! Memories of poisoning pigeons in the park.
...and I can only make my way faultlessly through elements 1 to 20, the 
rest get lost in confusion.

I've just reported you to the SPCA for breaking goats - it's cruel and
nasty.   ;-)

No such entity.

That would be "broking goats".

However life would be much calmer and more peaceful if Mr. Goat Broker
were merely to piss off.

There is, but it depends on where you live as to what letters preceed
those: RSPCA, RNZSPCA, etc.

Some local branches do drop the R and NZ.

It might be, but many organisations have turned their names around,
supposedly so it is easier to find them in the phonebook listings.

For example, what used to be North Shore Basketball, Waitakere
Basketball, South Auckland Basketball renamed themselves as Basketball
North Shore, Basketball Waitakere, and Basketball South Auckland. This
way all the "Basketball" groups are together in alphbetical listings
like the phonebook.

Do you want me to list how many ways that is out of date or simply wrong?

"1. The menu bar on the Mac makes no sense. It is based on 1984 
technology when only one program ran at a time, so every window on the 
screen belonged to the same program. This approach is ridiculous today 
when it’s not uncommon to have 15 or more programs running at once, 
each with several windows, spread across a multiple monitors. For 
example, I keep Skype and Adium windows open on the far right of my 
external monitor. To edit a Skype setting, I must navigate to the 
opposite side of the desktop, across two entire screen widths, just to 
reach a menu option."

Out of date.

"2. Menu actions take effect on the “topmost” window of an application, 
but in an age of multiple screens, this is often ambiguous. If I have 
two screens, and each screen has a window sitting on top, which window 
is the one I’m operating on?"

Wrong. There is an unambiguous and consistent method for knowing what 
the top-most window is.

"3. Ghost programs. Program can be running but with no windows, 
existing only as menu bar. Furthermore, when no windows for an app are 
open, you get the nonsense situation where many menu actions (E.g. “New 
Folder” in finder) make no sense at all."

Wrong. In the Finder, there is always a window open: the desktop. And 
"New Folder" creates one there when no other window is open. Clicking 
on a so-called "ghost program" in the dock (not "menu bar") results in 
a new document for that program opening.

"4. Confusing situations when menu bar of window-less app is showing 
over window of other program. The natural instinct is to think that the 
menu bar relates to the window which is filling the screen, but the 
interface leads you astray."

Except all such windows show with their controls and title bar text grayed out.

"5. No copy-n-paste from calculator widget or dictionary, or any 
widgets. Just today I needed to calculate the number of seconds in 2 
years. It was easy to do use the Mac calculator and even get the 
answer: 63,072,000. But it is impossible to copy that answer into my 
file."

At the very least, badly out of date.

"6. Undraggable. It is impossible to drag something (like a file from 
Finder) to an application which is not currently visible. You must 
carefully arrange windows ahead of time so that both are visible.  In 
Windows. you can drag to a program in the task bar, which then will 
bring that application window to the front. (Furthermore, in Windows 
when you drag to the task bar, you can even select from multiple 
windows of the application.)"

At the very least, badly out of date.

Holy crap! What an anti-Mac, pro-Win FUD screed that was. As you said, 
so wrong on so many levels. Actually 65 instances of wrong.

IMO the mile-high menu bar is a bit of a PITA on a very large monitor,
not so much becasue it is so far away but becasue it is so far back
again.

OTOH, that's mitigated by the fact that menus aren't really necesary
for apps which follow the UI guidelines, except as a convenient way to
look up the shortcuts (or switiching windows when you can't remember
their number, but then you're re-aiming your mouse anyway).

TBH, the only things in the menu-bar I actually want most of the time
are the battery monitor and the clock, so actually hiding it would be
nice.

65 reasons why Mac haters don't know what the fuck they're talking
about.  Just like climate-change deniers, opponents of the Affordable
Care Act, homophobes, "pro lifers", and other nutcase extremists.

Many of them aren't valid in any case. The link is almost 5 years old, 
and there have been several major updates to OSX since then.
