You can also drag the desktop icon to the recycling bin. When you start to click and drag the bin appears as an eject button.

Mac owners deserve every bad thing that happens in their lives. In fact they deserve more.

To square the ledger, hey?

A few ways.
If stuck in the drive, when you turn the power on hold the mouse button to eject the disk.
If that fails you can try holding "C" which will try to boot from the disk. it'll see that its a non-bootable and eject.

All else fails, take it in to a apple repair center, we'll get it out.

PC FTW

sorry, but your cd is lost forever.
all you can do is throw the mac out, buy a pc, and consider it a learning experience.

I forgot to say that you can also drag the dick icon to the trash.


As for PC users, come and see the light people hassle free computting

Hassle free computing? Like now being able to work out how to open the CD Drive?

Pressing a button on the keyboard is such a strain

 

[DamianBis]

That isn't the point. the point is that it's in a shit position. when it SHOULD be on the box. so if i don't have a keyboard connected. i can open my DVD drive in the press of one button.

same, i hit the eject button on my keyboard and the disk comes out.
if it doesn't I restart and hold the mouse button, the disk pops out.

the facts are macs a better than PC's, a lower break-down rate, no virus's at all, leading the way in design and speeds (heard of the new 8 core Mac Pro that takes up to 32GB of Ram?) what about the MB Air, the thickest part of it is thiner than the next thinnest notebook on the market & its the fastest thin notebook.
The iPhone, come on can you name someone who doesn't want one.
The iPod (now I'm not the biggest fan) but leading the world in music on the go, 160GB in your pocket, the ipod touch and fr working out the shuffle & nano.

Most people who bag macs have no idea about the system, its so unbelievable user friendly. Its built using the best parts (most PC buildiers will look to Macs to see what Video card, ram and hard drives are using).

The market share is growing by the day as the price comes down.
BTW, have you ever used a mac?

Because we ALL use a computer without a keyboard.

If you could eject the CD without the computer being on I see the need of a button on the computer, but when the computer is on, you are just looking at something to whinge about.

I'm guessing that DamianBis is the kind of guy that thinks there is no right click on the Apples mouse.

 

[YOTC]

no virus's at all

Yeah sure......

 

[beaumont911]

Yeah sure......

Actually there IS only one malware application for the Mac right now. However, in a few years there will be more due to the Macs gaining market share.

Well technically there is no right click. but you can access different menus via keyboard and mouse combinations

Sorry. computing is a hobby for me. building a computer. overclocking it. upgrading it. fixing it when something goes wrong. I enjoy it. not everyone does, but that's my reasoning for liking PC over Mac.

And to the idiot who said the new mac supports 32gb of ram

What about 64bit vista?? that can THEORETICALLY (you aren't going to get high enough ammount of ram) support 16 exabytes of RAM.

 

[Ninty]

...umm, no.

Touch-sensitive top shell

It looks and feels like a sleek one-button mouse, but Mighty Mouse's smooth top shell hides a powerful secret: touch-sensitive technology under the shell detects which part of the mouse you're clicking, so you can both left-click and right-click. And if you prefer the simplicity of a classic one-button mouse, Mighty Mouse is up to the task. Just use the Mac OS X system preference pane to configure it how you want.

And BTW, I have an intel iMac and a gaming PC.. And I choose the iMac over the PC any day, unless I'm going to play a game...

Ninty is right. The Might Mouse has a sensor built in which can detect right clicking if the user selects it, and so do the laptops.

And who says the Mac Pro cant support more? Currently Apple can only provide the 32gb of RAM, so no one knows what the theoretical limit.

Saying Vista can support exabytes is stupid. We haven't even gotten close to RAM that can hold a petabyte, let alone an exabyte. Before we will be able to there will be new technologies where this type of RAM will be a distant memory.

That's why I don't want macs getting too popular. Please, if you own a mac stop preaching about it. Remember, it won't be cool if everyone has one.
