* Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" has a startup progress bar that moves at a constant rate, [https://web.archive.org/web/20070423022327/http://daringfireball.net/misc/2005/04/tiger_details#waitingforloginwindow using information about the duration of the previous system boot to determine how quickly it should move]. Though technically it isn't a progress bar at all since it doesn't indicate the progress of the current operation, but rather how long it took last time.
** 10.5 "Leopard" just tossed out this progress bar entirely, going straight from the gray Apple logo initially visible on boot to (after a couple of seconds) the login window.
* Some ATMs in Germany ("Postbank") show progress bars which move at a constant rate... And then, when they're full, start from the beginning. What's the purpose of a progress bar, when it doesn't give you any information at all?
