Pull-down Menu instead of the Dumb Ole Dock

I'd like to have a pull-down menu available so I can switch between applications as we all did in Systems 6,7,8,9. How can I get such a thing? The dock is slow and inefficient and has bad Karma.
Thanks,
Tom

I use finderpop and like it. See http://www.finderpop.com/ You click on the menu bar and you get a pull down menu of applications that you choose to put there.

You can also use the scripts menu.

In addition to these 3rd-party options, try CMD+Tab.

Classic Menus ($10) mimics the OS9 Apple Menu; you can add aliases to it of any folders, or indeed your entire hard disk: it displays heirarchical menus of the contents. Works nicely in Leopard or Snow Leopard. It also follows aliases within folders, unlike the list view in the Dock.
