A little googling answered my last question: "From time-to-time, removable media (including CDs, DVDs and others) can refuse to eject via the normal Mac OS X methods -- pressing the keyboard eject key; using the Command-E keyboard combination; selecting the item in the Finder and clicking the Eject button next to its name; dragging the item to the trash; or pressing the F12 key. " http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20041011075232575 But I'd still like to do it without using the keyboard. I cannot believe they'd manufacture a device w/o an eject button on the drive itself. That seems crazy. I know it saves a few bucks on the cost of the machine but, holy cow, an eject button seems kind of essential.
