"TEIN" was derived from "Technology and Innovation"... so I guess technically it would be pronouned like "TEN".... anyways I pronounce it "Tee-in" just like what Clipsetuner just said. smile.gif

I think you're right... I did a little research and found more than one website saying the same thing.

"BTW, Tein is pronounced with a long A, like "tane"."

Another said, it rhymes with rain...like "TAIN". I think if I said, "TAIN" no one would know what I'm talking about.
