I suspect he drags the CD icon to the eject icon.
But drive doors are not legacy yet (my brand new G5 has one), and
unfortunately hardware eject buttons have been made legacy to save a buck in
manufacturing cost, no doubt. So some of us depend on the eject key to get
the drive door *open* so we can put in a CD. To bad I have to run to the
other room to do that (since my computer is remoted for sound purposes),
where I get no feedback as to whether I really opened the door or closed it,
resulting in extra trips sometimes, especially when iTunes is doing its
strange tricks upon which I have no input.
