ACK!  My basically-prestine NeXT CDROM player has stopped accepting CD's...
and I don't mean that it doesn't mount then, I mean that the mechanism for
loading the caddy into the reader is buggered up.  It simply just won't
swallow the caddy and drop it down inside for reading (despite the fact that
it seems to insert the full distance required).

I'm taking it back to be serviced (it's still within the warrantee... or is
the CDROM player a 90-day warrantee?  Hmmmm... [rummaging for manual]  Whew!
"NeXT warrants that all new hardware ... will be free from defects ...  for
one year from the date of delivery to the end user purchaser.")

...but anyhow, my question is this: has anyone else had problems of this kind?
I always thought that my spring mechanism (on my CDROM player :-) was kinda
weak.
