A few days ago, I found this in the window of my local computer shop, Computers @ Bayside.
The product was an ATI Radeon X1300 Pro graphics accelerator. Unfortunately it proved really difficult to take a good picture through the glass, so I didn’t get a good shot of the whole box. However, without doubt, that sticker says, “Lekker 3 Years Warranty.”
The local importer of the Taiwanese Gigabyte range of products is Rectron, and they have a pretty close relationship with the manufacturer, so it is possible that this is part of some kind of custom packaging for South Africa. It could, however, have been applied by Rectron, or by Computers @ Bayside. Whatever the origins, it’s a very cool find!

Now what would be cool is if you e-mailed the Tawainese company posing as an agent of Rectron and got them to use the term “boknaai -3 year warranty” on the next batch!

Hang on – reading it again , doesn’t it say “3 LEKKER years warranty”? A KAK year would therefore invalidate the warranty. Of hoe sê ek nou?

Hang on – that hand also looks suspiciously like “asshole” in sign language, so in actual fact, it’s a 3 Lekker Years asshole WARRANTY. That is indeed a very cool find.
