So does mine. But it does absolutely nothing if the computer is turned
off. If I shut down my computer and then remember that I left an audio
CD in the drive that I now want to listen to on my stereo system, I have
to turn the computer on, eject the CD, and hope like heck I can turn it
off again before the root drive gets mounted r/w so that I don't get an
fsck at next boot (windows users please replace "root" with "c:" and
"fsck" with "scandisk").
