Peeking around the corner waving "Hi Lisi".
Because that paper clip hole cannot be found on the face of the blackfaced dvd
drive when the tower is out of the direct light under the next table over and
invisible even with 300 equ watts of ccfl lighting on the ceiling turned on?
This is the real world.
In this real world, you can do a power cycle with the eject button held down,
and it will eject shortly after the powerup, and you must grab the tray and
forcibly hold it open because the bios is instantaneously trying to suck it
back in, so you must overpower the tray motor to hold it open with one hand
while you fish the dvd out with the other.
And in this midden heap, if there is a paper clip, its below the KT
Boundary. :) I have an office quality stapler for paper holding. Uses
loooong legged staples.
