I should have listened and not watch the trailers. Cartoonish Orcs and Elves? Twinkeling magic stars? Looks like a bad Disney Trid-Show. Back to PnP and the Novels. RIP Nigel Findley :(

Hm, i find it more comfortable to press an eject key or combo on my keyboard (or in gkrellm or gDesklets or whatever) than to find a tiny eject button located beneath the tray of a disc drice. Apple btw seems to have they same viewpoint. :) Call me conservative ;-)

I also wish I could unmount a CDROM by pressing the eject button.

To make unmounting devices even simpler you could write a 2 line shell script unmounting the device and then opening the tray via eject. Then bind the script to a key combination (i.e. Mod4+Down) or to a button on your desktop.

Then why not use them? GameCube or PS2 -> Linux box TV-In -> tvtime :) Having a window with a paused game of Mario Kart DD or Metroid in the bottom right corner is the ideal way of killing time while waiting for: apt to finish compile whatever motivation to return
