Is there a trick to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 without having to put the CD in everytime? It annoys me a lot. I'm on OS X by the way.

If you create an image of the cd on your desktop (toast would be best for this), then you can play from the image without the cd...
MacBook Alu, 13", 2.4Ghz, 4GB RAM, 256MB video
G5 Imac, 17", 1.9Ghz, 1.5GB RAM, 128MB video, built in isight, airport and bluetooth
Indigo iBook, 366mhz; 320MB RAM; CD; FW; Airport
