Calm down. If you used a Mac much, you'd know that there's nearly always the hot-key combination of COMMAND-SHIFT-1 and COMMAND-SHIFT-2 to eject either floppy 1 or 2, and COMMAND-E to eject the currently selected disk on the desktop. What you blame Apple for as "arrogance" is actually a noble attempt to allow the software to finish what it's doing before spitting out the disk. With a Mac, you can eject a disk more or less whenever you want, but it's through a software switch instead of a hardware one. I've used both a Mac and an Amiga extensively, and if I had my way I'd want disk drives that software eject like the Mac's but WITH BUTTONS so that once I knew my way around I could kick them out manually and save time.
