When I posted this article I just naturally assumed that everyone knew
I was talking about CD laser disks.  This is not the same as a certified
digital disk that is still just a plastic record.  The term CD is being
associated with those new 5in (said 4in in error before) digital laser
disks that are just starting to appear in audio circles.  They work just
like any laser disk and the head doesn't make contact. Unlike laser
movie disks and the like they are half the size though.  Also, note that
gegabyte should be gigabyte.  I was up too late that night and just didn't
know what I was thinking spelling it that way....
