23-inch Asus (or is it "A-Soose") monitor reviewed

The Asus VH236H is mocking you.

Has there ever been definitive confirmation of the pronunciation of "Asus"? Some say "A-Suhs," or "A-Soose," or even "A-Zues." I myself have always been an "A-Suhs" type of guy, as I just can't bring myself to say "A-Soose" every time I talk about one of the company's products.

So it goes with the Asus ("A-Suhs") VH236H 16:9, 23-inch monitor, which I feel mocks me with the true pronunciation of its name. I reviewed it last week, and with the holiday and strange rash of celebrity deaths, you may have missed it.

According to a few e-mails I've gotten lately, you may not even know where other monitor reviews can be found or that CNET even reviews monitors at all. So this entire blog post could very well be a life-changing experience for you. Yes, I think I'll choose to believe that today.

Eric Franklin refused to write a bio, saying, "Why are you bothering me about this bio business again? If I wanted people to know more about me, I'd send them to the Inside CNET Labs Podcast" (shameless plug). E-mail Eric.

My friend said when he called their tech support they answered with "A-Soose," but he was the only one out of our 30ish student Cisco class that would call it that. It's "A-Suhs" to me.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
