My vote goes for optidisk. It's easy to type, easy to say, and represents a 
meeting of two technologies: the new, laser-based nature of the optidrive,
and the proud heritage of disks, which even though it comes in a square 
box, it's still a disk (and who cares if it's really disc with a c).
 
Folks will wanna call anything that holds data that isn't a tape a disk, so
let's keep the disk part.
 
Optidisk and Optidrive. For a better America.
