On the Mac you can't eject a CD or other removable if it's in use. 
CDs etc are most commonly "in use" if you've *started up* some 
software from them.

An example:

I start up IE4.5 from my hard drive and then  insert a CD to browse 
some web pages on it. I can eject the CD afterwards.

Another example:

I insert a CD and double click a web page on the CD which starts 
IE4.5. I cannot eject the CD.
