Mic and Mike

Who pronounces 'Mic' as 'Mike'?

Since Mike In Japan needs a Mic in Japan

(Couldn't resist) - But seriously; I've always pronounced 'mic' either MIK or MIKE. - I think MIK is something I picked up as a child and is incorrect!

Nice one H. I have always said 'Mike' for mic. I'm 100% sure it is the 'regular' pronunciation - besides, I have always like Mike - not that I'm into self love or anything.

Lol, working on it H.
Frankly the fandangled quad card won't hitch to the system Hitch. The system just ignores it completely (even during boot).
I have an ancient ISA SB card at home, I'm about ready to hammer that into a slot and pluggin' pray!
