While tripping merrily through the mail, Bonnie Goodwin was overheard
 
 -> I don't think I've ever seen a TEAC speaker.  Do you pronounce it
 -> tee-ack, accented it initial syllable?
 BG> Until that moment, I hadn't seen or heard one before either, and I

 BG> correct way.. some try to call it like hard wood TEAK, but that
 BG> doesn't seem to be anyone but the uninformed.
FWIW, I'm told that the general rule when pronouncing Japanese words and 
names in English is to pronounce EVERY letter. There are no "silent" vowels.
Hence, ever since I got my first 4010SU back in 1968 (which I still have 
G>),
I've pronounced it "Tee-ack".
