Title: Amigakit is great..and Im an idiot
Post by: runequester on January 22, 2012, 04:48:27 AM

So I ordered a clock kit and battey from amigakit, which arrived in record time.

Then I realized that my ACA030/56 already has battery and clock chip installed.

Awesome. I guess it never hurts to have a spare huh :)

Nah it will come in handy one day. You could always sell it on and see if you can make some money back.

Yup I have an auto rom switcher with an A500 rom in it and I won't get rid for the same reason.

/ˈlɪːnɤks/ (‘leenooks’)
This is Linus Torvalds’ original pronunciation, based on the pronunciation of his name in Swedish. It's rarely used by those who speak English as a first language, as it doesn't seem very ‘natural’ to them. There are audio files (in various formats) of Linus Torvalds saying ‘Linux’ at Paul Sladen's website.
/ˈlɪnʌks/ (‘linnuks’)
This is now Linus Torvalds’ preferred pronunciation, as he considers /ɪ/ closer to the original /ɪː/ than /aɪ/. It also follows the pronunciation of the English word ‘linen’. There is an audio file (in wav format) of me pronouncing ‘Linux’ this way.
/ˈlaɪnʌks/ (‘lynuks’)
The other major alternative is based on the pronunciation of the English version of ‘Linus’. It also happens to be the version I use. There is an audio file (in wav format) of me saying ‘Linux’.
:laughing:
