BigMal:That's an interesting idea. I wouldn't be surprised as PBTech have diversified into a variety of other products lately including homeware.
Before the mi-store website went live and it was just a splash page talking about opening specials I noticed the url https://static.mi-store.co.nz/ and it had the PB Tech favicon. So I assume PB definitely has some sort of vested interest.
Some of the staff that are now in MI store today are pbtech people. Today when I went to pbtech they told me they are partners with them.
