$tip.TipText = @'
It's common to use a date timestamp in a filename for things like log files. The default output of Get-Date includes characters that are not valid for the filesystem, such as colons. You can use the -Format parameter to specify a custom format, or leverage the built-in FileDate and FileDateTime formats that are filesystem friendly.
