Hercules Computer Technology has been a legendary name in computer world because of the popularity achieved by the original Hercules graphics cards in the early eighties. The company itself was acquired by Guillemot in 2000, who continued to sell some astonishing graphics products under Hercules brand-name. Well, sometimes the legends have to go – Guillemot said that it would no longer sell LCD monitors as well as graphics cards.

I wonder how warranties will be honoured; since the whole of Hercules (or rather Guillemot) hasn closed they should deal with warranty issues. Has there been any official word?
