LOL! I used to hang out in Radio Shack in the good old days (mid 1970's), when I was 12, and help the customers (I knew more about electronics than most of the sales people). It was almost a real electronics store back then. They used to have walls and walls of parts: Now they have a few parts in drawers, and a few on the wall. I have more Radio Shack electronics parts than just about any Radio shack store does these days. Now they are mostly just an overpriced cell phone store (Though I occasionally drop in for old time's sake).
One of my saddest days was when they discontinued the Radio Shack catalog. I looked forward to it every year, and read every page as soon as it came out. I still have every year from the mid 70's to the end. (Maybe this post should go in the "I am a geek because ..." thread.)
