I dutifully installed PS about eighteen months, two years ago, went to my local community college for a class, and seriously almost never use the thing. MS seems to think it's groovy that PS functions return objects, not text, but the arcane backbends you have to use to extract just the info you need -- *if* you can extract it -- are just too darn much trouble. Why can't MS have a *single*, *procedural*, *competent* scripting language that persists from OS to OS like Unix?
