*PS--How do you pronounce "Technic"?  I always say "Tek Neeq" with the stress
on the last, but it might be Tek Nik with the stress on the first.  It would
be interesting to hear non-US input on this too.

I prefer 'Tek Nik'.   To me, the word "Technic" seems derived from
"technical", so that pronunciation most closely follows.

"Tek Neeq", as derived from "technique" is also applicable.  In fact, my
dictionary shows "technic" as an alternate form under the heading of
"technique".

But the pronunciation guide shows "technic" as being pronounced 'Tek Nik'.
