Im surprised it took this long.
They should have died 10 years ago.
I have to agree. Their stores are two small to compete with the likes of Best Buy or even our local electronic store that caries every connector widget ever invented generally at bargain basement prices.
If I owned RS I would go for broke leveraging my brand name recognition as an Internet only store.

It's too late. RS is dead.
They've missed one opportunity after another since the 70s.
They coulda been a contender.
They coulda been somebody.

I am 2 1/2 miles from Radio Shack and 14 miles from Best Buy. It I want a computer or major item, I drive 30 miles to tax free New Hampshire. If I want a 3:1 75 ohm RF splitter, I order on line. RS has them on-line, but not in their stores and does not offer in-store pick up, like Best Buy, so screw them.
