A friend recently needed this.  What you do is that you hold the mouse button while you are booting up the computer. 

Restart the machine and when it's coming back, press and hold the mouse button (or the touchpad button) until the disc is ejected.

I just tried for the first time to play the first chords of Debussy's "Clair de Lune" on the piano.  Tough little assignment.  Turns out I first need to figure out where to put the fingers correctly, in order to be able to make the jump to the next chord.  It is quite a debate for me to spend time learning this piece, vs. all the other things I could possibly be doing, but I love it, and I think the experience with the music will help me in general.

I'm sure it's better for me than watching Grey's Anatomy, although I do enjoy the acting very much.
