Hello everyone!
I receive around 20 emails a day from BeoWorld visitors and members asking various things - sometimes offering valuable input such as adding to descriptions of products on the main site and giving us manual scans and tech specs. There are some extremely generous people out there, and i thank them. We also (just a valuably) have members and visitors suggesting new articles and areas.
I consider this email a 'constructive ticking off' !! I agree, we should have an article specifically related to this..

Yes, I found this article very interesting. However, do you think it is possible to include an article specifically about the word "Beo" and where it came from. It it mentioned breifly in this article (one sentence), but there is so much more to now! First of all, how is it pronounced. Being from the States, it is not necessarily obvious. Is it "Bay-o" or is it "Bee-o"? What does the term Beo mean? What does Beolit mean, for that matter? And how is it pronounced? Is it Bayo-lit, Bayo-lite, Beeo-lit, Beeo-Lite?
Does it have something to do with the plastic used to make the radio? Is it related to the US version of Bakelite? It is hard for me to believe that you have this wonderful website and the word "Beo" is not clearly historically described or defined. How can you even know what BeoWorld is if you don't know what "Beo" is? I should think someone in your organization could tell us the story behind it. Sorry to seem so daft, but don't you think this should be pretty!

I would love to hear the thoughts and views of our members, and hopefully we can construct a definitive article from it !!
