Well, we're talking motherboards here, I live right next door and had absolutely no idea and it definitely would not affect my purchase of any product numbered 88, living in house number 88 or setting the price of a product (though 89 would obviously be better).

I have no idea why 4 would be special and 13 avoidance is for superstitious people which I'm not one of.

So forgive me if I don't see the problem with the 'Navi 88', in spite of being pretty sensitive to such issues because of what my grandparents went through.

When some kids wanted to do a dance festival under the label 'Tanzen macht frei' I thought it was in pretty bad taste because it clearly intended to be a reference. But just a number is not enough to trigger my sense of indignation.

I thought the slogan is older than that though. Sounds pretty puritan over all.

I think some oriental cultures associate number 4 with death.
