I've put it on 3 different machines (including an old beige G3), and it 
has run fine. Dunno what it fixed (read me? What read me?). Didn't break 
anything.

One simple way is:

Make a new folder in your home directory (or wherever you like, actually).
Give it a good name, like Apple Menu.
Go to http://home.earthlink.net/~jjqueenan/Apple_Menu_Icons.sit and 
download some good apple menu icons.
Change the icon for your new Apple Menu folder to one of the nice apples 
(to change an icon in OS X:
  click on one of the apples
  hit command-I (or go to File->Get Info)
  click on the icon in the info window
  hit command-C (or go to Edit->Copy)
  click on your new apple menu
  hit command-I
  click on the icon in the info window
  hit command-V (or go to Edit->Paste)
Drag the Apple Menu to the Dock
You can now put items (aliases and the like) into the Apple Menu folder 
(or into folders within the apple menu folder) and access them from the 
apple menu on the dock.

I suppose you could also put a pile of stuff into your Favorites folder, 
and drag the Favorite folder to the dock, but the apple icons are really 
nicely done. :<)
