  Thanks Mike,  I second the postitive reactions and look forward to the followups.
  I do have one suggestion/complaint.  My approach is to manually key in examples a bit at a time to help me understand the innards.  I carefully keyed in this script step at a time and everything worked great until I got to the format table section.
  Turns out the lower case "L" in my browser's font is almost identical to the numeral "1" in my ISE's font.  Isolating the problem took more time than I like to admit.  The runtime error message "... The key must be a string. ... At line:8 char:9" made sense once I realized the error but was not really helpful.  The 
  I understand that PowerShell permits a lot of latitude in attribute/command completion but for articles like this, I recommend using the more verbose approach such as "label" rather than "l".
  That said, the exercise was worth my time, because it made me dig into Format-Table
  Thanks,
