I just got a first gen iMac G5... put a disk in the hummer, when to

I have one of those beasties as well. I really wasn't aware of the
disc spitting problem till I ejected my first DVD. Didn't go far at
all... just sorta rolled out of the drive onto the desktop -> floor.
I was a little surprised, but thought it rather funny. My solution,
when I'm too lazy to reach across the desk to grab the disc, is a
wicker Easter basket with a microfiber towel right under the drive
slot.
Enjoy your G5!

Well, honestly? I've got more of these things than I should
have! ..wait! the bathroom needs one..hmm.... :-) I might end up
parting it out or selling it. Although my wife has her eye on it....
too funny. Jeff
