Challenges & Choices
Every so often I forget a CD in a PC that I'm working on. Recently I bought an ASUS DVD/CD burner for a client and in unwrapping it to install it, a small package fell out on the table. In it were two items. A instruction sheet and a small piece of metal.
Apparently it's for those too weak or too stupid to simply fold open a paper clip. Until recently this was the only known way to retreive a CD from an Apple branded computer since Apple in its wisdom didn't even give you a button to push with your finger. The seriousness of wording is a bit concerning. (Remember you can click on any picture to make it BIGGER.)Using the Emergency Eject Pin or E.E.P. as we like to call them around this bastion of techno geekdom can be dangerous. Feel free to copy the picture and print it. If you don't have your own EEP find a paper clip and summon your intellect and strength and make it straight.
In another humorous package we find that Dell Computers has figured out a way to cut costs. Refurbishing screwdrivers. Seriously we get parts in to repair Dell laptops and they come with "refurbished" screwdrivers. If you read the label carefully it tells you when they got refurbished. Go figure......
Finally any guys out there in the dating scene ? Well if you spot one of these in her kitchen you might want to "RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY".Have a great weekend

I thought you could eject a CD from a Apple by dragging the CD icon to the Trash...
When that failed, not often, but I've seen it happen, there was no pin hole. I actually took one apart to get a CD out.
