I didn't know I had PowerShell on this Win7 machine
of mine.  I'm watching tutorial 1 of 5 right now.  This
guy sure gets excited about things that don't seem all
that cool to me, but it sure is cool to him.  He is easily
impressed.

I guess this PowerShell is a little bit better than the
command prompt I am using now, but not much better in
my opinion.  I really need to find a better one.
