Oh-x-Oh, but done in an outrageous French accent while farting the Star-Spangled Banner and playing the spoons.

HAHA! Combine this with a Welsh and Brittany Spears Louisiana accent and this would be quite a sight! :lol:

For me i just say Oh-x-Oh. But i would also accept "the Motorola's".

My sympathies go out to pc users who are forced to pronounce x86. How freaky is that...

I wonder what it all sounds like in Klingonese. I will just throw it through the good old English to Klingon translator...

Disappointingly 68000 translates as 68000 :(

But interestingly Amiga translates as 'IH be'. This is Klingon for beautiful woman  :)

I have a question. How do people say Linux and Ubuntu?

I say Linux as "Linn-ex". Some people say "Line-ex". I've also heard "Line-ous".

And i say Ubuntu as "You-bun-too". But others say "Ooo-boon-too".

What about everyone else?
