[Cube] CD stuck in cube

[Frederick Manter]

Bend a paper clip into a point, that was Apple's first and most 
beloved tool, then gently poke around the felt on the end of the disc 
slot. I've forgotten which side it's on, but you will find it easily 
then push the point down on the little lever and it will pop out. 
Takes less than thirty seconds and you don't even need to shut it 
down.
