Well... the Chooser is used to "choose" your printer (and network server,
and sometimes fax modem, or PDF converter, and occasionaly a scanner, and
once in a while some other stuff)
And the Finder is used to find and locate your files on the hard drive,
floppy drive, or other storage device... as well as to launch them,
modify them, copy them, delete them, and do pretty much anything else
that interacts with them, or applications, or many other parts of the Mac.
What's so confusing about that? :-)
(yes, that is a joke... Finder and Chooser are some fairly odd names for
what they do)
