For anyone who intends to work at the operating system of a Mac, be aware
that some Mac keyboards do not include the '|' (ie, pipe-to} symbol.

The ls command now has an option ls -more to make up for the common
command sequence ls | more.

This is probably common knowledge, but I was also surprised to find that
the Delete key works as a Backspace key and there is no Backspace key.

Minimalism is fine, but this seems a bit strange.
