Eject multiple optical drives from iTunes Apps
This is less of a hint than an interesting observation. I have two optical drives in my Mac Pro. F12 opens and shuts the top drive, and Option-F12 opens and shuts the bottom drive.

But I just noticed that when clicking the Eject button at the bottom right of the iTunes window, the following happens:

Click 1: Top drive opens
Click 2: Bottom drive opens
Click 3: Both drives close

There's no way to click and only open the bottom drive, for example, or only close one drive. Weird, and potentially uninteresting for most users...

if i remember correctly holding down option and hitting eject on the keyboard would eject the lower optical drive on my MDD.

When I click the Eject button in iTunes, *both* of my trays open. They both close when I click it again. Option click doesn't change the behavior.

I was actually taking about the eject button on the keyboard not clicking on eject with the mouse.
