One thing to note about PUBLIC FOLDER thought is that it doesn't set up a mounted volume (a la TOPS or AppleShare). So you couldn't use it for example to keep an updated office rolodex or other dynamic/shared files. You can't launch or just "use" a file with Public, but must "fetch" or actually copy it to your machine. "FTP for the masses." It does however make it easy to share files/folders. You just put it in your "Public" folder, "Broadcast" to your colleague that it's there and they can just "Fetch" it with the Public Chooser Cdev.
