Paolo AmorosoThe history of Apple OpenDoc and similar object embedding facilities such as Microsoft OLE. An old but interesting post.

Jochen WoltersTo follow up to yesterday’s post about #OpenDoc, that principle of freely placing frames with different content types on a page canvas existed well before OpenDoc.
When I got my first Mac in the early 90s, I used #RagTime as my office suite, which is based on the exact same principle.
I’ve never seen anything like it outside the professional print layout realm. In comparison, today’s office packages, especially the web-only ones, are painfully clunky to use.

You mean Apple's #OpenDoc from the 90s (not to be confused with the Open Document format of today)?
That was pretty cool, although I'm pretty sure there wasn't a CLI for it. ;)
Zeitgeisty AphorismsKilling is to shooting what shooting is to #OpenDoc.

Sebastian Büttrich @ ITUit seems for now you need a french VAT registration to register (?) - or is my french zu schlecht?
ltning@zerodogg Don't get me started :) The object model (System Object Model) behind the desktop (Workplace Shell) was inherently network-friendly (DSOM). You can subclass the default Folder class to add some features - I added play/pause/next/prev buttons plus simple calls to mpg123 and called it "mp3Folder", all with a few lines of REXX code. Threw shadows (symlinks) of some mp3 files in there, and shared it on the LAN. A colleague with OS/2 could access it and automatically saw the buttons and got the playback functions. I could even share the template itself, so they could create their own music folders.
Exercise for the reader: guess which machine would actually play back the music in each case ;)
