I went on a course once about the technology behind the CD, the best thing I learnt was this.....
The size of the hole in the middle was chosen by Philips to be the same size as the smallest Dutch coin at the time - a 10 pfennig piece (this was in the days before euros).
The size of the outside of the disc was decided by the wife of the chairman of Sony at the time, whose favourite piece of music was a version of Beethoven's 9th symphony, conducted by Herbert von Karajan, that lasted for 74 minutes (though some people say that it was the conductor himself who specified how big the CD should be).

i wish they would go away already.
they get scratched. maybe if i was more organized and careful, they wouldnt,
i think they planed for them to be delicate so they could sell the same cd more than once to the same customer.
