I'll think of you next time I see something "gigantic" or perhaps when I
dance the "gigue." How do *you* pronounce "gigolo" or "gigot?"  

Anyway, there's only one pronunciation in all my American dictionaries for
"gigas" which clearly has the same root as "gigabyte."

This only proves one thing: I'm just a Unix jock and not a wizard.
Let's get back to business....
