Seriously, why doesn't Apple's next powerbook make it so the slot goes all the way through the powerbook?? Then if the CD gets stuck you can just ram a stick through your powerbook to get the cd out!
I don't see why Apple bothered. I posted this cause I felt it was ironic that Apple made a Firmware update to in my own words allow the owner to eject their CDs.... uhhhh better!
I spent an hour on the phone with some chick at apple who had me hold down the mouse button at startup, hold dow the eject button at startup, Zap the PRAM, Reset NVRAM, Reset all parameters, reset the PMU, startup into the boot loader and try ejecting, and even load open firmware and type the command "eject cd". The Firmware told me "Can't OPEN the EJECT device" so then she gave me a dispatch number.
The next morning I'm updating a PB 12" and this update shows up!! The odd thing was that these PB's had Superdrives and not combo drives which makes me wonder if the update is for all slot-loader drives.
