Oh, thank the good lord:

  Date in menu bar.
  The date can appear alongside the time in the menu bar.
Seriously - This missing feature has driving me CRAZY - Windows XP has been able to do it since the beginning of time. Finally I can look at my screen and figure out what the date is without having to Click on the Time (or leave iCal in my Dock)
