Especially on systems where the case prevents access to that button, such
as my HP Slimline s7727c. There's a silver button, but reaching it under
the cover for the CD tray is a pain, especially since I have to reach
around the tray to get to it - and half the time, the button doesn't work
for ejecting the disc.

I agree and normally do it this way myself. This is one of those subjects where
you've got to be careful if it's somebody else's equipment and they're prone to
worrying about this kind of thing.

Would now be a bad time to mention that I own disks with data on both sides?

Wait till your CD gets stuck in your car's CD player. Fortunately it was
still under warrantee.

Probably! :)
I've only seen such discs with the Flight Simulator X FSX "Global" expansion
pack...
What do your double-sided discs contain? A game's data?

Yikes! I can see that being a bit more of a problem. However I'm so
frustrated now I feel I could take an axe to my car's dashboard, if the disc
was in there.
