Hi - I am notorious in our family for shoving the CD into a drawer so sloppily that it slides up over the drawer and jams up the mechanical workings - in that case even the paperclip in the hole doesn't work, nor does holding the mouse button on startup, nor does anything else except taking the dad-gum thing apart and hopefully getting it back together again. I've been unable to find a hole for the paperclip in a slot-loading iMac however. The paperclip actually pushes something that makes the drawer open as I recall, so obviously that applies only if there is a drawer. Clearly this is not for normal usage but when I'm desperate I'll try anything.
