I used to go to Radio Shack when the Lab Geeks needed a simple electronic part. Much faster than ordering through our 1970's style supply system.

Then they started selling cell phones.

The last two times I went to Radio Shack they had a very small selection of electronics parts, not half of what I needed.

And I got to stand in line for 30 minutes while the sole clerk tried to fix some ladies' cell phone problem.

Farewell, Radio Shack.

I have found a real electronics store, they have stuff even the Lab Geeks don't know about.

If I want novelty electronic junk that breaks in 5 days I can get it cheaper at Walmart. And I won't have to wait in line for 30 minutes unless it's the week before Christmas.

Sadly, today Radio Shack is selling robotic dinosaurs and other items that Wal-Mart will always beet them at.

Radio Shack specialized in electronic parts, and even today, they are my first choice before the Internet.

Why? Because sometimes, I need to hold an item in my hand to insure that it is what I had in mind!
