A standard CD-R is a 1.2 mm (0.047 in) thick disc made of polycarbonate
with a 120 mm (4.7 in) or 80 mm (3.150 in) diameter. The 120 mm disc
has a storage capacity of 74 minutes of audio or 650 Megabytes of data.

that's right, but why are people so fxied to the word "CD"
CD and DVD are ISO 9660, have the same size and in the last
decade there were only DVD-drives produced
