if it isn't ejecting, you might try shutting down the computer and see if you can eject normally after restart.
Yeah, but she's doin' stuff and can't shut down for a while....
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What Tommyrot said - I'm wondering if there's an option that doesn't include restarting so I don't have to interrupt my upload (which still has another 45 minutes to go).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If you go to Force Quit → Finder → Relaunch, it would probably free up the DVD drive, but I would advise against doing that since it could interfere with the upload in your other window.

Jessica,
I'm sorry I didn't catch that. Can you wait until your upload is done?

Does Starbucks (or whatever WiFi/internet company they use) still charge $6 per hour of WiFi?

I hadn't heard that. That makes me more likely to go there. Especially since I have an iPod touch now - I don't even need to bring a laptop....

you have to buy a starbuck's gift card and register it. if you make a purchase every 30 days or so using the gift card, you can have 2 hours of access per day.
