No, there's only one, remember? :-) For multi-button mice it's the 'regular click' button, the left one. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Help me get Tiger back?
Does that still work? I thought that was only with vintage macs. If that doesn't work, hold the Option button while you boot, and when it boots to the firmware, wait until the cursor becomes the mouse instead of the watch, then press the eject button on the keyboard. That WILL eject it, no matter what. If your keyboard doesn't have an eject button, press Command(apple)+E. -Elliott Price Mac Computer Repair - Santa Barbara Graphic Design - Artwork Setup Websites - Low Cost Custom Websites On Oct 21, 2009, at 6:51 PM, Dan wrote: > > At 8:07 PM -0500 10/21/2009, williamd wrote: >> I decided to try FreeBSD on my G4 imac.

Help me get Tiger back?
I decided to try FreeBSD on my G4 imac. It would not erase the partition i already had with os 10.4.11 on it. So i decided to erase that with my 10.4 cd and try again. Now I have erased the drive so the cd is seen as the start up drive and will not eject. I tried restarting and starting cold trying to eject the cd before it was recognised as the startup disk, but no luck. I even tried to pull the tray out manually but it is tenacious. I see no pinhole for the magic paper clip trick. S any other ideas?
