> Disc is definitely British, disk is definitely American. It's not that simple. Even in the US, CDs are "compact discs", floppies are "disks", hard drives can be either (but are more often "disks" when made in the US). The cartilege between your vertebrae is a disc, cars have disc brakes, but generally flat circular things like Frisbees are "disks". Unless they're not. Isn't English wonderful? -- Lee Daniel Crocker <lee@piclab.com>
