GA-Source heeft een interview gepost met Helen Bougas, communications manager van Guillemot. Uiteraard werd er gesproken over de overname van Hercules, die gisteren door Guillemot werd aangekondigd:
Q: What is the first Hercules branded product that Guillemot plans to ship?A: Once again, at this time, this is very hard to say. But a statement will follow shortly.
Q: How does Guillemot intend to market 2 separate brand names given that Hercules and Guillemot were previously competing in the graphics product marketplace?
A: Guillemot plans to start a separate graphics division under the Hercules name. As you know Hercules was established in 1982 and can be credited with starting the PC graphics add-in board business. It is this strong brand name especially among mainstream audiences that we would like to establish for ourselves worldwide.
