I think I screwed up a Mac...


I was at my neighbor's house yesterday to help work on a school project. Nothing was happening at the time, so I decided to show them this (commercial) CD with some music I thought would be good with the project. ITunes didn't read it at all when I put it in. So we popped it out and put it bck in. Still nothing.
So we decided to screw that, but left the CD in there.
Now, still nothing was happening. So I started up the neighbor's copy of Warcraft3. My mom critisized me for doing it, so I closed it. Then, after another period of nothingness, I tried to start up his copy of Halo for Mac. It asked for a CD key I didn't do that.

I then remembered that the CD was still in there. I pressed the "pop out CD" button. Nothing.
Now the mac doesn't read the CD drive in there at all, my CD's still in there, and my neighbor appears to be angry at me for it. What can I do?

- restart the mac then try and get it out
- restart the mac but try and get the cd out before it finishs loading
- turn it off and SLOWLY pry the cd open

If all fails, send it to get repaired (DONT if the cd is illegle or he has illegle stuff on his computer)

Doesn't sound like you did anything wrong, sounds more like some hardware of theirs is failing, which is by no means your fault.

Mac is the most worthless piece of shit on the planet. People swear by them, and these are the same trendy assholes that wear those funny flattened box-shaped glasses like a slick, chic pair of Buddy Holly BCG's. These are the same artsty-fartsy "intellectuals" that go to coffee houses and thumb their noses at Starbucks but secretly slip in because the local "Java Joe" is temporarily closed because the owners were running a pot garden in back.

They get their Macs as if to say, "Wee look at me! I'm different!" Right along with the other 1 million "different people".

Suckers.

I can't do that, he's my next-door neighbor... we've known each other for twelve years, and his daughter is the closest thing I have to a girlfriend. And I've played Halo on it before (he's got a huge-ass screen), it works very well.
