LINK. SYS.

Not Linksy's, not Lewinsky's. LINK. SYS.

That is all.

1. I have one of their products sitting next to me.
It shouldn't be hard to pronounce, but I've got a simple last name and I get all sorts of weird pronunciations.

3. Even after I say "LINKSYS" to the customers, they still mispronounce it.
It is astounding.

5. Oh, I do.

6. Sigh...I work insurance claims for people who reside (primarily) in mobile homes.
Let's say I'm in touch.

Thank goodness I don't have to deal with them directly too often.

2. Ten times in rapid succession, say Lynksys.
