I wandered over to find Dick Smith's somewhere in silicon valley (first US store?) at some point. Other than that, it was an Aussie thing, right?

  It was an Australian thing, although it's (sadly) gone now.

    Jaycar took up the mantle of the hobbyist electronics store years ago anyway.

      Does anyone know how Jaycar are doing these days?

    It's in a better place now. We can remember it as it was, back in the glory days, instead of the failed Harvey Norman wanna-be that it became.
