If the OS on a MacBook Pro crashes, how can I eject the CD that is in the drive? What is the little oblong hole on the left side of the computer? Should I stick a paper clip in that hole? Usually paperclip holes are very small and round, so I don't know what this oblong, large (4mm), and very deep hole on the MacBook Pro could possibly be for. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

erm that oblong shaped hole is for the express card slotq and not for poking about it to eject a CD.
just reboot it and then eject the CD. i for some reason you cant reboot or the CD just wont budge reboot while holding the trackpad button.

I think he/she is referring to the security slot for a lock, OP is it on the right hand side ??
Edit,now I'm confused as the OP states left side but the express card slot is at least 30mm wide
I meant the right side, it is the lock hole.
It is pretty obnoxious that you really cannot eject the CD without the computer working. That could conceivably be a bad problem, and I can easily imagine it wasting several minutes as the crashed computer rebooted.
