ejecting a disc from PB

i was just sent a PB with no system on it (selling to a student) ..
i inserted the restore disc and the machine wouldn't boot from the  
disc via holding the C key down ..
instead, I just get the blinking mac folder

so I tried to eject by hitting the eject button, that didn't work ..
then I tried to eject by booting and holding down mouse button , but  
that didn't work

i can't recall how to eject a disc other than the above methods ..

help 

Thanks,
K

So a question would be are the image rows really packed or are they  
aligned in some fashion?

(See this [1] page for a discussion on row bytes to understand what I  
am talking about)

Also at the end of an image of height x width does any padding exist?

Boot into OpenFirmware, and type "eject cd"  (without the quotes).   
That should eject it.

Supermice

Australian scientists have discovered a strain of mice with extraordinary 
regenerative abilities - essentially, they appear to be able to regenerate any 
kind of damage except brain damage, including whole limbs, inner organs, etc:

   <http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,16417002%255E30417,00.html>

This ability can even be transferred between individual mice, by injecting 
cells from a regenerative mouse into a 'plain' one.

This regenerative ability has previously only been found in some fish and 
amphibians, but never before in mammals.

Kinda interesting ...
