I originally pronounced it Tee Eye Book, but the issue with that is that people miss the t, and hear iBook, so I reformed at started calling it a Tie Book.

Yes, "Ti" itself is an elemental abbreviation, but in the context of this particular PowerBook it was a truncation of the word "Titanium" (which, by coincidence is the elemental abbreviation). Since it's a truncation, you pronounce it like the word being truncated. Tie-Tay-Nee-Um.
Thus, "Tie-Book." Plus, the "cute" shortening of Titanium PowerBook was supposed to rhyme with iBook which was also available at the time.
Tee Eye Book?
Seriously guys? I mean come on. It's clearly "Tie" Book.
My box even says, Titanium Powerbook.
I'm amused that such a debate even exists.

To resolve the dispute I thought I´d better ask my TiBook…
