@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 ;)
