Radio Shack use to be a place for kids to get experiment kits and circuits and learn things about physics and electricity with real hands on experience. They were one of the first into personal computers too. They turned away from that unfortunately, but I guess they were just responding to market demand. I think kids have lost something when every consumer gadget can’t be made and is a disposable.

I imagine the first PCs, Apples and such, used many RS parts.
dittos! Radio Shack was overpriced but was a last ditch place to buy certain electronic items. It was there when you needed them.
Now you have to buy on ebay and whatever and wait a week to get the item
