Will the sequel explain why, on Macs, you drag disk icons to the trash can to eject them? That always made me think twice about what I was doing.

As of at least 10.4 the trash can becomes an eject icon when you drag a disk.

Because if you want to put the physical CD into the actual trash you have to get it out of the computer first...
