I don't remember that working too well under windows 95 --
possibly it's been fixed since then. I haven't paid much
attention to that part.

But if you've never seen a computer, how are you supposed to
know what an extension is? Or how do you tell where to "find"
the find command? :)

Yep, "finder" is a pretty stupid name, and so is "chooser," but
no more stupid than "explorer" (any of the three ;) "Excel" --
what does it do again? "Access..." Yep, that's great too. "Power
Point..." It must be a software implementation of a hunting dog.

To be clear, "finder" does actually provide the "find" command
to find a file. Chooser actually does provide a list of "stuff"
and let you "choose" something off of the list (for all that it's
worth :) The names aren't sufficient at all, though.

Well, you've just hit on my main complaint with windows again...
but we've covered that.
