Just to make sure, I went over to Applelink and got the real data. If
you're running the new machines (IIci, Portable and IIcx) the fix for this
is in ROM. The fix is also installed in 6.0.4 (for hardcore hacker types,
it's implemented as resource 'ptch=7'). So if you are running 6.0.4, you do
not need SafeEject.
