I couldn't remember if it was Eatons or Simpson-Sears. A friend of mine from University (now a Bay Street taxation Lawyer) was clerking at the law firm that handled Eaton's bankruptcy. He said he was reading the minutes from their meetings and just saying to himself, "You idiots".
And Consumers Distributing - I'd forgotten about them. You're right, they were an online store before there was an online. I still have my old walkman I got from there, it's kicking around somewhere.
