J G Electronics | 177 Blairgowrie Drive, Randburg, Randburg, 2194, Gauteng

JG Electronics was founded in 1990 by John Georgiou, while studying for his National Diploma in Electronic Engineering at Wits Technicon.Initially the company did repairs to IT and related electronic equipment, hence the name.In 1991, the company started selling PCs which in those days had no colour, and had a 10Mb Hard drive, with 64K of RAM (in other words less capacity than even the most basic phone today).At this time inkjet printers were still starting out (most companies were using dot matrix printers which were like a glorified typewriter), so the quality was terrible. The only printers that could produce photo quality images cost tens of thousands of Rands, and took a minute to print a page. Companies needing photo quality were paying up to R 60,000 for a photo printer. R 60,000 in those days was more money than a good car cost to buy !
