"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I`m so sick of my wrong facing quotes on my phone. I know apos ' doesn`t work for everybody. But what if I use the directional quotes?
 
Like, what is this: ’ ? It should be a single right quote. And this: ‘ should be a single left quote. Is it?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

To me they just look the same, but that matters less than the markup showing.

Yeah, Liese, your posts always have curly quotes in them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So I'm finally going to get rid of my collection of dead computers in the closet at the e-cycling thingy in Park Slope on Sunday. Assuming I can't even get the G5 to power on (which is how it wound up in the closet in the first place), removing the hard drive should take care of any personal information on that machine, yes? Am I missing something obvious?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Remove the hard drive, and you're good, Jess.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remove any floppies, CDs, backup tapes, memory cards, etc. Also, remove the magnetic core memory and any punch cards still in the case.

eta: Oh, and randomize the DIP switches.

As long as she mixes the ashes with four parts peat.
