The idea was not to eject stuck floppy disks per se, although it probably would have worked. The idea was you usually had a floppy disk that had your OS and a set of apps that you wanted to run, since you didn't have a hard drive. Using the mouse-button method, you could eject your last used floppy of OS+apps and put in another. Edited on Feb 10, '10 09:07:26AM by leamanc

That's the method that has served me well in the past. However, that was with cabled mice. Now I have a MagicMouse on bluetooth, not sure this would work ... still, I seem to rarely use optical disk media nowadays, more a USB memory stick user. |
