that's an interesting question, like "AAAA Plumbing" back when the physical phone book was the route for discovery. Folks would deliberately vie for position in that thing.


Asus was either originally going to be or originally intended to be Pegasus, but it was changed to "Asus" to be alphabetically first. I'm sure that's also the story behind the name Abit.


Interesting, that would imply it should be pronounced uh-sis not Ay-sus.


Same for Apple, so it would show up before Atari in the phone book.
