Bye Bye Radio Shack

[David L. Jones]

We've never had Radio Shack here in Oz, it's always been called Tandy, but
this might be important for you US folk - Radio Shack is now simply "The
Shack":

In the off chance that it's been missed ( Google doesn't show and
hits on these newsgroups)

Yes, very cool.
I used to have a massive collection of the Australian Tandy Electronics
monthly flyers and yearly catalogs, but I foolishly threw them out in a
clean-up many years back now.

It is on its way out, because all it carries is "the shit", and I don't
mean the gang boy retard meaning either.

What about RS Components?

Herc

Why do you ask??
I do not believe there is any connection between RS Components and Radio
Shack.

RS was Radio Spares I think and always sold components that were far too
expensive and higher quality than anything Radio Shack/Tandy ever sold.

I just saw my first The Shack tv comercial.
It showed adigital camera taking a picture of a Radio Shack store, then when
the camera diplays the picture it is The Shack.
