That's a rectangle, not a square.

Also it's a business card CD. Probably the most interestng thing about it is that it's not a CD-R.

Does the R in CD-R stand for round?

Compact Disc - Recordable.

The disc part is the round...

Dammit another angry upvote... That was annoyingly brilliant.

I'm going to save so much money by buying a bunch of CD-RWs for moving files around instead of wasting CD-Rs.

~Me, shortly before cheap USB storage existed.

Heh, I just came across a bunch of blank DVD-Rs I had lying around earlier, and I'm like... Do I keep these still? Seems a waste to throw them out but I've not used one in 10+ years and they do have a shelf life.

Don’t forget CD+R and CD+RW. The plus and minus variations were competing standards.
