@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 ;)

SOM allows classes to be defined in one programming language and used in another. A client can create and use objects from the exposed classes and derive subclasses from the exposed classes even if the client language does not support class typing. 

SOM provides an application programming interface (API) that provides access to library metadata. Each object exposes methods that provide the class name and whether the object implements a particular method, for example.
