Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Removed: 2,3d1

It is extremely rare and probably wrong for anyone to refer to a magnetic tape as a disk.

Changed: 9c7,11
Why this move? It seems to me that the text on /Talk? is more relevant on the real page than the text there which seems pretty bogus to me. --Pinkunicorn
The CD was developed by Phillips which is based in the Netherlands. They chose British spelling. This may have slowed down the decline of "disc" a little.

For the simple reason than it is written from one person's point of view, and does not pretend to be part of the article. /Talk? pages are for talk about the article and what it should say, as you know, and that's what this is. Pink, if you think it needs to be included on the main page, then include it! --Larry Sanger
