Hello All: I keep a lazy eye on long term weather trends. Sunspot and cosmic ray interference are ramping up with the peak occurring in 2013.

I believe I read about it on the NOAA.gov website. Point is, yes, Gary we _are_ going to have more random problems with our electronic equipment for the next 2-4 years. (AAiieee!

On the right side of my drive slot is the infrared receiver for the remote control. I hope you are not suggesting that I poke around in there blind to try to find a eject machanism. Anyway as I said, after due consideration, my Mini decided to surrender my DVD peacefully and all is well.
