is there anyway to get a G4 iMac to eject its EMPTY CD tray if the

This generally happens because the system thinks that some application
is using resources on the CD, even though it really isn't!
1. Try quitting ALL open applications, and then see if the CD ejects.
(Just having TextEdit running after having read and closed a text
document on the CD can cause this - it's a bit of a pain).
2. Try logging out of your account. This will forces all running apps
to quit, including the Finder, of course. Log back in, and your CD
should eject fine.
