        @bazzacollins - I've always assumed that they're to assure you that something's happening. Many progress bars don't actually progress at all

        @bazzacollins Bit of a grump re Apple progress bars wasn’t it. It was done to make Windows users feel comfortable.

        @bazzacollins My favourite (thought not from Apple) was a progress bar which, on closer inspection, turned out to be an animated GIF.
