Hi, please start with flaming the 1998 web design, quietly please.
For those anti-Eneloop or anti-LADDA fans living in the South East of Melbourne, pickup welcome.

Yeah, Rockby is a classic in so many ways. But they are still one of the best places to find electronic components on a shelf/bin if you need them today (and you're in Melbourne). Old school Tandy/Dick Smith/Jaycar/Radio Parts.
Plus, and this is a BIG plus - they actually link their quantities on hand internally with their website! Can't tell you how useful that's been on so many occasions.

I can occasionally find compatible parts from Rockby and pickup whenever an urgent repair. They have a huge selection of components compared to Dicksmith during it's heyday. However most of their parts are old school big dip package. Anyway I hope they survive long time. Support local business with a 1998 website.
holy sheet
I too clicked thinking how bad could it be…
I’m impressed tbh
Very impressive web design :-)
Love the stats at the bottom "Page Load Time In Seconds 0.135"
"Page Load Time In Seconds 0.135"
i am sad there was not random dancing baby gif like it was 1998 all over again
What's an Industrial? Only good for factory works?
Not retail packaging.
OMG its so fast to browse, instant page loads with images and all. Fantastic experince.
This is how websites should be. Only missing the marquee element for the 1998 feel.
Why would anyone want that when I could enjoy the latency to download 40mb of responsive framework before anything displays. Visitors might get the speed wobbles from such fast performance!
I love Rockby - long may they live!
I tried to buy some but just ended up with a headache and memories of 1995.
You can always order via phone. They have a friendly team.
Egad! Methinks my battery supply has worn out in navigating this archaic, prehistoric website. So, never mind. 🥵
Oh my God, the red and blue "on sale" GIF is golden. Upvote for this website alone.
Duraleak.
This is like that time I went to Eastwood Woolies
Showing up as $64.90 for 1 x pack of 100 🙁
Looks like they removed the item from sale.
will be interested to hear if people got their orders ? :)
Also! I never received any confirmation via email. Checking the bank account today I can see the transaction go through a few days after the order was placed, so my guess is they're working through a backlog :)
I'll give a few more days
Update: arrived today! 100 shiny AAA batteries. Guessing that ordering system pre-dates email.
"Hi, please start with flaming the 1998 web design, quietly please" how bad could it be?…. Holy sheet
