I was always slightly disappointed that the ShareFS/Access system didn't
do the 'drives in a filer window'-thing. They show you a filer window
with all te drives in, but when you double-click an icon for it appears
on the iconbar (from which you can do the usual
click-to-open-directory-window).
I'd have liked to have been able to open the root of that share directly
from the original drive-filer-window.
