Eject CD/DVD on Mac Menu Bar

Problem
You cannot find an eject CD/DVD button on the Mac.

Fix
Add an eject button to the Mac menu bar. In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras. Then double click on the Eject.menu. Now an eject button will be available on your menu bar.

To remove it, just hold down the command button on your keyboard and drag the button off your menu bar.

I remember a discussion I had with a friend about why he didn't like Macs. One thing he noted was that he didn't know how to eject CD's and DVD's. Of course there are multiple ways to ejects discs on a Mac, but this one seemed to be exactly what he was looking for. Thanks goes to OSX Daily for this tip.
