Somebody posted a nifty way to disable dashboard a while back. I did it on all my Macs.....I'm happy.

Oh oh. How will I open the CD tray on my new (soon) G5 PM with a M $ keyboard?

Typical Apple finesse: tap the f12 key to pull up Dashboard, press it longer to eject the CD. Actually, the CD ejection has always taken pressing and holding it a bit of time, to prevent accidentally ejecting a disk (and doing that doesn't cycle it through Dashboard, although on my Powerbook, especially if it's been using my larger Pro keyboard at work I'm hitting it when I aim for the delete key.)

You can turn off the F12 key for dashboard using the keyboard prefs...I forgot about that.
