Ahh yes. :) Having been employed as a Mac-only programmer for a while,
let me assure you that there is a program called "Finder," which, in fact,
is not for finding things at all.

Finder is the Macintosh shell. Best not to confuse the users with terms
like "file manager," "shell," "interface," "front-end," "button two" or the
like. ;)
