Hmmmmm. According many references on line, most people use the words interchangably but cite "disc" as the preferred British/European spelling possibly due to its Latin root "discus" and going back to the time when Phillips and Sony developed the compact disc. Apparently, Apple prefers to use the spelling "disc" for optical storage media - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302152. I tend to use "disc" it whenever I refer to circular electronic data storage media.

How can it be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are no longer true at 40 -- and half the things he knows at 40 hadn't been discovered when he was 20? - Sir Arthur C. Clarke (1917 -2008) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
