Earlier I mentioned the state of CDs in our household. Today while attempting to re-rip Shania Twain - Greatest Hits (one of Linda’s CDs) the SuperDrive in my PowerBook stopped loading media. I would put a CD or DVD into the drive, and after a couple of seconds of whurring the disk would eject. It didn’t matter what type of disk was inserted (audio CD, brand new blank, freshly unwrapped DVD), it was quickly ejected.

A quick search on the Apple Discussion Forums led me to this knowledge base article describing trouble shooting procedures for slot loading drives. After following it’s directions (resetting the PMU), I am happy to say that the drive is now funtioning.
