Yuppers, that usually helps. :) I now understand that you have one of those wonderful, let's nail 'em when it breaks CDROMs. Hrrm, actually, on a Mac, in theory, at least (my co-workers and I always laugh at that, becuase it often means, "This isn't gonna work," you can eject by holding down the mouse button. I wonder if that would work on a Dell. (This is, hold down the button as the machine is turned on--Mac did it with their single button mouse, with a two button, shucks, as there's nothing to lose anymore, I'd try first with the left, then the right, then both.) If this *does* actually work, I'll be surprised though. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Spike: I did a couple of slayers in my time.
