You as well, I assume?  (That's not a criticism - I'm living in Germany,
and
would be interested in getting a dial-up account, but I want real PPP or 
SLIP access not something which can only be accessed via Windoze.  Oh,
and
I don't speak much German so their web page is not very much use to
me...)

I have a better idea.  A large hammer and a drill will get it out
without
all the trouble of unbending the paperclip and then riuning it (the 
paperclip, that is) for its intended use.  And the disk will never get 
stuck in that machine again...

Ah, but one definition of 'human' is "a tool-using animal".  Apple(tm)
are 
just encouraging the user to learn to invent their own tools...

(And if you believe that, I have over a Gigabyte more to sell you
