Alternative spellings of the storage media used in computers (as well as other electronic equipment).

Disc is often used for optical discs, while disk generally refers to magnetic disks, but there is no real rule.

On a computer we have
Floppy Disks
Hard Drive Disks
CD Rom Disks

Q. "There are many websites that broadcast live pictures of places around the world. Is there a central index that will show me these different webcams?"

Ok... with all the time that we're spending on the WEB, it's time to start using the proper terminology. Now repeat after me... Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

A URL literally describes the access method and location of a place (web page) on the Internet. For example, the URL http://www.computerguyny.com describes the type of access method being used (http is like a programming language) and the server (big computer) location which hosts the Web site (www.computerguyny.com).

All Web sites have URLs. One could say a URL is what a telephone number is to a telephone or a street address is to a house.

Although Web site URLs are sometimes long and hard to read let alone remember, browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer have a bookmark (favorites) feature which gives you the opportunity to save the location (URL) of Web sites that you want to return to.
