You have three simple options for ejecting a Floppy (even works for the
Imation SuperDrive USB Drive and the G3/G4; also works with Zip and Jaz Drives).
Highlight the image of the floppy disk:
Command (Clover Leaf/Apple) Key - E (Eject) or
Command - Y (Put away) Or
Drag image of floppy to Trash.
DUHHHH!!!
in case a disk gets stuck locate a small paper clip and locate the small
hole usually located where the eject button would be on a PC Floppy
insert in this hole and push. Pops right out. Duhhh!
Right click hasn't been an option on a Mac (One button mouse) never
needed it. So your getting PC's, and Mac's. Mac's have always been able
to use a two/three button mouse provided the Driver (control panel) was
setup for it (provide by Mouse Maker). I find having to use a two or
three button mouse confusing.

This is not a forum for Mac or PC Bashing.
I worked for 17 years for a School system before retiring.
I Have the same opinion personally for PC's as you do for Mac's Every
other day I was called to a school to reload all the programs where some
smart A.. kid had wipped out DOS/W.3.1.1/W95 and I would have to reload
it.
Yes at the time I knew the command to hide certain commands but so did
the kids. Never had that problem with a Mac. But whatever floats your
boat if you like Pc's fine that your right.
The worse problem for Mac's were because Mac's used Mice before PC's
(once PC's used them had the same problem) were kids stealing
Mouseballs. That was cured by adding some glue to access door.
