SxS stuck in Macbook Pro at DVinfo.net

Hi all.

We just got a new macbook for field transfers and some editing of XDCAM EX footage. All is well, but when I stick the SxS card into the express card slot on the mac I can't get it out. The card slides in flush with the machine and no part of the card sticks out for me to grab onto.

Is there an eject button that I missed like on old PCMCIA slots?

What is the best way to remove the card? Grab it with a pair of pliers?

Push the card back in. Then it will come out half an inch or so. Pull it out.

Wow... that was so embarrassingly simple. You can certainly tell I didn't read the manual.

Thanks for the help.
