Can someone tell me how to make an em dash on a Mac?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ordered the damned phone. Am sheep. Will be back in a coupla days to nag everyone about what stuff I need to get.
(Jess, you may be interested to know that the Pre looked cool enough to make me look hard in spite of having really disliked multiple past Palm experiences. But I digress. You, as a Palm-lover, should totally wait until June, and I will gnash my teeth at your copy-and-pasting prowess then. And I'll still hate teeny-tiny physical keyboards.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Option-hypen is an en-dash. Option-shift-hyphen is an em-dash.

Huh. I knew that was traditionally the case, but they looked identical when I tested earlier. It may be that the font I was typing in doesn't include both.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Running your car 12 hours on idle should do it no harm. Myh dad was a mechanic and the subject came up....
I once left my car running when I stopped by my office one cold winter night, and got engrossed on the Internet (this was 1994). 8 hours later I came out and found the gas gauge on the floor (figuratively. I made it to the nearest gas station 6 blocks away.

But I already bought an iPhone before the Pre was announced!
OTOH, the fact that it's exclusively on Sprint is enough to make me not regret missing the boat. I can count on one hand the number of worse customer service experiences I've had than Sprint - the phone would pretty much have to poop rainbows and predict winning lottery tickets in order to get me to switch back.
