So as I've written before, I've had plenty of problems with my (work) computer, and below is just another example. I have no idea why, no idea how but any CD I insert into my Macbook Pro just gets spat right back out. How annoying!
Anyways, myself and a couple of friends went in on a pretty sweet deal that was on amazon yesterday. All said and done it was pretty much about 60% of retail price. Awesome! And the fact that it comes with Vista Business <insert mild Micro$oft groan here> just makes the deal that much sweeter. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to using my work laptop strictly for work, and actually having a nice dual boot personal laptop. And one that's "ultra-portable" to boot!

Nice! My guess is the drive is dead. Good thing you paid a premium for that hardware, eh?
At least your machine still works. We had a Mac Mini at work that would just lock up when you put a CD in it. The best part was, it wouldn’t ever boot back up, instead just hanging at the silver apple logo. Of course, there’s no hard eject button on the slot-loading drives, so it had to be taken to the apple store. My guess is, yours will have to go in too. Enjoy the couple days you spend without your computer!
