** Both sites are working just fine for me.

Maybe your web filtering has gone birko.

Work fine here, although in Jaycar's case "work" is probably the wrong word - it is easily the worst and slowest online store system ever. Clearly they've made it themselves as nobody would pay money for such a POS. I remember when they first put it up - it was running off FileMaker and the genius who'd written it had the search function that would only search by catalogue number.

Years later their search function is still terrible - either it finds nothing, or you get 12 pages of unrelated hits.

Oh, and the artwork of the dude with the goatee in the sik headgear along with nasty motion blur is horrible. God knows who imagined that was appropriate for professional use. I haven't looked at Altronics website lately, but their new catalogue is head and shoulders above Jaycar's in terms of quality and professional appearance.

Slowest? Loads here within seconds, well less than that really... Faster than DSE's website... Maybe your connection needs some attention????

Yes obviously very faulty... I searched for "camera" and got results like DVD cases, plus about 10 pages of stuff to do with camera's, surveillance, video, etc.... Totally unrelated... :)

WTF? Looks fine at this end... must be my connection, must do something about that one day...
