http://blogs.technet.com/b/jamesone/archive/2007/07/10/moving-from-vb-to-powershell.aspxI'm continuing to fiddle with PowerShell . I have 28 years of BASIC under my belt Starting with a DEC PDP 8/f moving onto Microsoft Basic with the Commodore PET (hands up who remembers Poke 59468,14 and ,12 ?) , through the AppleSoft version of it, anden-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.technet.com/b/jamesone/archive/2007/07/10/moving-from-vb-to-powershell.aspx#1506648Thu, 12 Jul 2007 10:15:50 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:1506648Melissa<p>&gt; hands up who remembers Poke 59468,14 and ,12 ?</p> <p>Raises hand... (it switches between uppercase/lowercase and uppercase/graphics). &nbsp;It's scary that like me, you still remember this poke. </p> <p>Ah yes, POKE nostalgia.</p> <p>Do you remember the &quot;System variables&quot; chapter of the spectrum manual where it listed all the variables used by the ROM (how do you annoy a spectrum owner? POKE 23562,1:POKE 23561,1). &nbsp;And similarly, who can forget _The Complete Spectrum ROM Disassembly_? How else would you know what RST 10 did. &nbsp;Those were times when we were encouraged to hack and explore; these days, people would scream &quot;intellectual property theft&quot;.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1506648" width="1" height="1">
