Eject a stuck CD/DVD from a MacBook Pro SuperDrive

"Read other people's messages before posting your own to avoid simply duplicating what has already been said." So I have, and it is obvious that lots of folks are suffering from the same glitch, not just on MacBooks, but here on a G4 Powerbook w OSX; I report this in hopes that Apple picks up on it, as AppleCare Mike has suggested.
I had a quite similar experience with a new commercial audio CD, in a G4 Powerbook. The CD would barely mount, nor in my MacBookPro. In the G4, I got it to mount and copied the tunes into a folder on the desktop, and the eject button led to a whimpy whir and the disk jammed part-way out [didn't protrude, of course]. Eventually, I shut the lid, putting the machine to sleep, and came to the MBPro at this website hunting for help [thanks everyone!]; I returned, planning to try a reboot, opened the lid, and the CD ejected, I think, or at least was fully ejected when I tried the eject button [sorry, memory going fast]. Whew! I can't see anything wrong with the CD, no label to get in the way, the catalog track and all else looks unblemished. I got a copy of it and original's in the trash.
