How does one pronounce the name of the 68882 chip?  "Sixty-eight, eight
eighty-two" is a little unwieldy.  I flip-flop between "six eight-star two" and
"sixty eighty eighty eighty eighty ...(etc., until I'm tired)... two".  Any
better suggestions?

I don't envy the people who have to work with the damn things.
