I will miss them if they go away altogether.
I remember when I was 13 living in Columbus Ohio. If I could get a
ride downtown it would only be on Saturday morning. Some of the
Radio-Electronics Stores were not interested in selling a kid
anything.

IBM was five years behind Radio Shack with the PC. Some of the RS
folks are technical, some are not. I have always found them willing to
work with me. I hope for a restructure that keeps the parts available.

A pity, *perhaps*: they still did carry one or two items of use to radio
amateurs, and without requiring a long drive or paying more for shipping
than for the item.
