    How do these companies pronounce their own names?

    Ritek: REE-TECH (eat) or RI-TECH (right) or Ri-TECH (icky)
    Princo: PRIN-CO (imp) or PRINK-O (ink)
    Matrox: MAY-TROX (ate) or MATT-TROX (apple)
    Canopus: CAN-UH-PUSS or CANNOP-PUSS (cannot)

    I heard something a while back, but then the guy was using funny words, so he lost my confidence ("aboot" instead of "about", "ohmple" instead of "ample").

    Unlike TO-MA-TO/TO-Ma-TO, these are companies, and therefore have correct pronunciations.
