when i pronounce all the e's i always got like 5 of them, just remind me of the special kid in my junior high, that the special kid's room was next to my science room and we always hear him saying eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee out loud all the time.

Yeah, that sounds very awkward to me as an American. But, you know, us Americans... 
I think I had always said Eh-suss. But, I guess it's there name, so consider me corrected.

Ah-soose? No way.
Asus was derived from pegasus and should be pronounced as such.

I guess i've been pronouncing Asus incorrectly all along
maybe we should have some Stickers made?

oh well. Have you ever considered you might pronounce PEGASUS wrongly? 
It is greek and actually pronounced peg-ah-soos. So the company name of our little toy is really pronounced Ah-Soos, no matter how weird it may sound to americans.

I'd maybe worry about that after you've mastered tomato.

Many brand names are mis-pronounced, examples:
Nokia - is it No (as in no thank-you) kia or naw (as in beavers gnaw on trees) kia? - In Finland it is the the first one (where the company is from.
Mazda - is it Maw (rhymes with gnaw) or mah (as in man without the 'n')? - It's the second.
While we're at it, the last letter of the alphabet - Z - is pronounced Zed by more people in the world than Zee.

I don't need to pronounce it... I can just type it on my EeePC!

I was calling it "The Eee" for a while. Like the Wii. But I prefer E-PC.
Also "Eh-soose".

I just call it "The E".
