Well some macs didn't have paper-clip holes, mind the manual usually indicated if you could stick a paper-clip in the CD slot edge somewhere instead. People forget Apple hasn't made custom drives for 10's of years now, so they use the off the self millions per order of CD drives everyone else does.

Just because you can't mount the CD and see it in the finder doesn't mean you can eject it. Most current mac operating systems would have an eject button on the keyboard or F15 or something to do a keyboard eject, even under os-x there is a cmd line command to force an eject with the last resort of a keyboard command to eject via the firmware at boot time.

How many MACs have YOU personally had this problem with?

New or old?

What do you thing the paper-clip hole is for?
