WS did a piece on Riedel about 2 years ago and the Riedel-needle

pronunciation

was specifically stated in the article. Maybe worth a look back, if you

want
to flaunt it to your mates. Kinda' like the Moet (this damned keyboard

won't
let me put the two ..'s over the o). Since the founder was Dutch, the

French
pronunciation rules go out the window, and it sounds a bit like Mo-et, with
the e very soft.

Thank you, but unfortunately this keyboard doesn't have a numerical keypad,
which is required, as the numeric keys on the top of the KWERTY will not call
up extended characters. I think I'll soon add a USB numeric, just so I can
access them. Thanks anyway.
