Here's another question for any hardware folk out there... I recently had my
Mac upgraded to a Plus, but evidently, the bozos who did the job either did
the installation poorly, or gave me a drive with a bum eject mechanism.  The
problem is this:  with most disks, if I try to eject, the drive sounds like
it's making a lot of effort to get it out, and the disk sort of slowly oozes
out of the unit.  With some disks, ejecting results in the disk getting 
caught halfway out.  The only way to get it out is to fiddle with a paper
clip and pull the protruding part of the disk at the same time.
     I am almost inclined to suspect that the drive is simply not properly
aligned in the housing.  It seems like the disk is really getting caught on
something on the way out.  I was also informed that there is a variable
speed control for the drive eject.  Another thought is that this is simply
set at too low a level.
     I'd really appreciate any advice anyone has concerning this.  I'm 
reluctant to take it back to where I had the installation done for fear
that they'll: 1) charge me an arm and a leg; and 2) discover that they
charged me too little for the original installation.  I guess you get
what you pay for... sigh.
