In summation: CD's right, CDs wrong.
In summary to your summary, Webster is wrong. Compact Disk's makes no
sense when referring to the plural form. CD is an acronym for Compact
Disk, so WTF would anyone put an apostrophe before the 's'? I think the
only reason we see it so often today (and the reason Webster says to use
it) is because of the confusion about it. The masses started using it,
so it stuck.
I wholeheartedly agree. Oh, and btw: CD is an abbreviation for 'compact
disc' (whith a 'c'). A disc is a flat, circular object. A disk is an
electronic unit containing rotating magnetic storage discs.
(sorry -- that's one of my pet peeves).
