Yuppers, that usually helps. :)
I now understand that you have one of those wonderful, let's nail 'em
when it breaks CDROMs. Hrrm, actually, on a Mac, in theory, at least
(my co-workers and I always laugh at that, becuase it often means, "This
isn't gonna work," you can eject by holding down the mouse button.
I wonder if that would work on a Dell. (This is, hold down the button
as the machine is turned on--Mac did it with their single button mouse,
with a two button, shucks, as there's nothing to lose anymore, I'd try
first with the left, then the right, then both.)
If this *does* actually work, I'll be surprised though.
