    A while back I called Sager and asked if they could get my laptop to me faster than any of the "Say-ger" resellers, and before he answered the question, he corrected me by saying: "it's Say-jer, not Say-ger!" LOL, I though that was funny.

    When I called up PowerNotebooks tech support, they pronounced it "Say - jer" - the "jer" like in Jerry. Before that I always pronounced it "say - ger".

    Sager themselves pronounce it "Say-jer," so we can pretty much say that's the official pronunciation :D

    if you want the real "G" just add an U like [Gui]llotin.

    French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, all latin origin...


    EDIT: BTW the Portugueses were the ones that discovered north and south america in 1424. :D
