Your friend is right, CD/DVDs are actually fragile, and careful handling 
will give it more useful lifetime. so just gently put the "silver round 
thingy" on it and push the close/open tray button. :-)

Thank "sensing" and eventually destructive behavior is what user tend to 
do out of comfortability of use and exactly what the makers wants users 
to do, so they can sell more units. Any PC tech with some experience 
will tell you the same.

Cheers.
