Heh, I guess the first s/an/a/ depends on how you pronounce MIDX. I
typically say "em ei di ex", and in that case it's correct to say "an".
But I think I heard you pronounce it as a single word like "midex",
where it's indeed correct to say "a".

In any case, I don't care, let's just say "a midex".
