bad joke, thanks to PowerShell default aliases 

the man wondered how to get help
so they asked their friend, knowing that they used PowerShell the friend had an great response.

man Get-Help -online

they found all the wisdom they needed that day, in their browser of choice too!

(Get-Help is aliased to man by default, the online flag opens the page using system defaults)

@softgoat monocle mode is applied to an entire desktop, not to a single window
