No, it's 'an', I mean, a - a, that's not really an English pronouncement. And IIRC the difference between a and an is for pronouncement purposes.

Cyberus?!


btw. more on topic, isn't the game Outlaw?

You lost me...

It's been 10 years since I studied english, but afaik;

A computer
A Amiga compter
An Amiga

Not sure about the termology (sp?) but the "leading" word determines if it's a or an.

Bah, humbug.. Who cares...

Nope....it's 'an Amiga game', the indefinite article changes to match the word closest to it. Even if it's an adjective that's not part of the noun itself: a red apple, an orange apple.

And logical...well...languages are nothing more than a set of rules really ;-).
