Why use Public Folder with 7.0 at all?

Just take the old folder called "Public" and share it using 7.0's built-in  
sharing. You can control the security level instead of having the files be  
wide open for anyone to pick-off. If you want, allow anyone to access the  
folder, or make sub-folders that have specific access privilidges for  
those special users.

Public Folder was a hack from Claris that they won't support.
