    shut the computer down, start it up and immediately hold the mouse button down until it ejects. That should do it.

    hhrmph...



    rather than have a button for Open/Close we have "reboot and hold mouse button" -- very user intuitive (sarcasm)



    rather than have a button for On/Off we have "hold down play button until said item turns off, but isn't really off at all." (iPod).





    why o why o why does it have to be so hard? Why not Open/Close like the rest of the world or On/Off....sigh. So simple, but so silly.

    hahahaha, ya man, i know what you mean eh. but im just glad im on a mac, now i can dl as much pron as i want without having to worry about viruses (at least none on the computer). i say if we need to sacrafice small things to get the great computing experiance a mac provides, its worth it.
