  Are you talking about the Kogan-clone that took over the online store about 5 or 6 years ago, or prior to that? The online part of the business was sold off to Kogan and became another online store front.

      Care to elaborate? I’m not old enough to remember much before the mid-to-late 80s, but I remember my local NZ Dick Smith Electronics being a pretty cool and wondrous place back then.
