There are still some stores that retain the name; or at least there was 
quite recently. Have to admit I haven't taken much notice in the last 12 
months or so.

I haven't been into one for a few years now, but last time - strictly 
killing time whilst my wife was shopping - there was absolutely nothing 
of interest. Like Dick Smith; consumer electronics consisting mostly of 
generic re-branded rubbish or name brands that can be found cheaper 
elsewhere.
