CDs
To open the CD/DVD drawer, or, if you have a slot-loading drive,
to spit out the disc that’s in it, hold down the 
key on your Mac keyboard. If it’s an older Mac
keyboard without a key, you can eject a CD (or any other disc) by
Control-clicking (or right-clicking) its desktop icon and then
choosing Eject from the shortcut menu. There are various other ways to
eject a disc, but the point is that you never do so by pushing the
Eject button on the disc drive itself.
