Add an Eject button to your Mac menu bar

On the Mac, you can add an Eject button to your menu bar so that you can ejects CDs and DVDs easily. To add this, open a Finder window and select your hard drive under the "Devices" section on the left. Then navigate to the System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Menu Extras directory. You'll see a file called Eject.menu. If you double click on this file, it'll add an Eject button to your menu bar.
