'In Portland computer circles, you can't swing a mouse without hitting

Lien-ux sounds closer to my ear. Then again, I come from the, kind of
cultural crossroads (Tucson, AZ) where pronouncing things in their

where "Ponz (or pon-say) duh Lion" (Ponce De Leon) was, or where "Die
Cab" (DeKalb) county was.
