Lots of people (tremendously foolishly) don't Grok disk images, and just download the .dmg to the desktop, mount it, launch the application in it (Firefox, etc), then are mystified that [a] they can't delete the .dmg (if they're the fastidious type that prefers to delete the .dmg, which most aren't, but those that do try are stymied), [b] the computer says there's a disk inserted but they don't remember putting one in the CD drive and the system won't let them eject it anyway, and [c] every time they click the Firefox (or whatever) dock icon, this other window pops up and then that disk they can't find reappears. It's all terribly confusing, but apparently that's how Macs work, so they live with it.
