It even includes my external firewire lightscribe drive in the list of drives to choose from. If you use the eject button on the keyboard, it only opens the first optical drive. The eject button was in the menu by default on my PowerMac G4 in earlier versions of OS X, but seems to have decided it wasn't required on my MacPro.(How wrong they were).

You can't eject the drive from the Mac anyway. It's either this or the keyboard. It's a handy tip, but it doesn't really gain you anything.

You'll see it disappear in a "puff" (with accompanying sound effect). Some items can be added to the menu via preferences (e.g. the "Show xxx in menu bar" selections in the Displays, Sound, Network, etc. preference panes), while others may need to be accessed directly via items within the "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/" area.
