    When I first got into BSD (way before Linux) I found man pages useful… but no way to leave them. Not even man man won’t tell you how to exit a man page!

    So I world tinker, eventually needing a man page, reading what I needed – and then hard power cycle the machine. -_-

    I was pretty good with computers, but that was a humbling experience. You just don’t know what you don’t know, and if you can’t ask… sometimes you just get stuck. Just like in KQ, LSL, SQ, … The Internet is (was) a blessing.
