Unlike most here, I always pronounced Mt Xinu with an
eye, not an eee. I don't know where I got that, though.
I did know Ed Gould via USENIX and DECUS, but that doesn't
make my pronunciation correct.
As an aside, anyone know where Ed is these days or how he's
doing? I last saw him at a USENIX conference, probably in
San Jose in 2013 but I'm not sure. He showed up just for the
reception; he'd retired, and had cut away most of his famous
beard because he was spending a lot of time sailing and it
got in the way.

It is indeed Mount Z-eye-nu. (I used to be its President. ;-) )
Ed is living in the Walnut Creek area. He has indeed retired and he and
his wife do indeed do a lot of sailing.

Excellent! That's how I'd always heard it. Glad to know it's right.

Great!
Thanks for the somewhat authoritative answer :)
