I remember for a brief time Microsoft started using a CD as the save icon in their office applications.

They actually had to revert it to a diskette so people knew what it meant.

Well, a CD is an absolutely stupid symbol for writable media, because even the state of the art CD-RWs could only be written to about 1k times, the practical limit is much lower. It's just not the medium for regular writes.
