Yes another retailer swirling the bowl. Actually, I never liked the place. Back in the days when they sold their own brand of radios, CD players and such, a friend of mine, who was a big Radio Shack fan, would buy me something from Radio Shack for my birthday or Christmas. Every one of those items died within a year or 2 of purchase.

Now it looks like they sell mostly phones. I can get those anywhere cheaper.

Or, you can buy a stereo patch cable for just 4x Fry's or 5x online price.

Radio Shack pioneered what became the PC. The Trash 80 was the leading edge before IBM came along.

I learned on on a Model III in my office and a Color Computer at home. The Color Computer was the best on the market for a year or two.

My son became a certified nerd on the Color Computer and remains so today

Together, we cracked the case and made the life changing upgrade from 4 k to 64 k memory
