Forward-delete is there -- the current standard Apple extended keyboard ("Pro Keyboard") has a forward delete key to the side. Laptop users can use fn-delete to forward-delete.
The Terminal is however bit wonky and nonstandard (but that's OK, since if you don't know this stuff, you probably shouldn't be there).
Control-D to forward-delete in the Terminal. Check out http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020 904063406236 for more, or type bindkey (switch to tsch first, if you're using bash).
You can also option-click in the Terminal to place the cursor with the mouse.

Google before you rant, buddy.
Speaker grilles come with the machine. You can snap them on or leave them off. Your choice.
