My group isn't like the CIA or something where we can't even say that we work

Details?  I gave details?  I think not.  Giving details would be like
telling people what's new or what's improved or what doesn't work yet, and

I had squealed about what the Finder was going to look like just a month ago,
I would have been dead wrong).
