Eject Key Worries.★
If you've recently upgraded to 10.4.9 or you are planning to, then this might be useful.10.4.9 patched, amongst other things an issue that some users were experiencing, namely that they'd accidentally bump the eject key on their keyboards. Its right up there next to Mute, and other lovely buttons so its easy enough to do - I personally did it all the time.
10.4.9 addresses this issue by requiring users to hold down the eject key before the drive will eject.
Useful, but if you didn't know (like me) and were used to just tapping the key, it might appear as if the key is broken.
I had to do it all the hard way, cleaning my keyboard, shaking it and searching around for a spare, before finally dropping a notepad on the key - which depressed it long enough to eject the disk.
Happy Mac'ing!

I actually had the exact same problem but I did the sensible thing and looked it up. Had me flummoxed for a while though.
Never really had the problem of pressing it accidentally but that's never happened to me with anything else either.
Still, my keyboard could probably use a good clean anyway.
