[G4] any tips on a stuck CD/DVD?

[Tony Gamble]

I had a DVD jam in my iBook slot-loading drive once and tried  
everything to get the bloody thing out, and in the end all I had to  
do was pull the recently-added stick of RAM and everything went back  
to normal.  May not be relevant to your situation, but I always like  
to examine all possibilities.
