Well not having an eject button I can kind of understand... being Unix-based, Mac OS would probably have a problem if the disk ejected without being unmounted properly, as Windows does (uncancellable warnings, anyone?) when you remove a disk it thinks it can read from.

It's for this reason that Linux tends to disable the hardware eject button when a disk is mounted.
