hey tfp'errrs um..small problem, i'm at school, and a Power Macintosh G3 just ate my zipdisk... and the weird thing is, the "desktop" isn't loading up, so i can't drag it to the trash...and there is no paperclip holey thing...
HELP! how do i get it out, w/o damaging my info on the disk?!

There's always a paperclip hole, I think. Look again, sometimes they are very subtle.

Ah, the good ole "hide it behind the bezel, no one will ever need it" trick. Was that Apple design, or a 3rd-party add-in?
