I may have to concede that point, Dee.

Here is a recent quote ( http://tinyurl.com/29e856 ) by the CEO of
Radio Shack.

He said: "Even the name 'RadioShack'-can you imagine two less
appealing words placed next to one another?" Day said. "What is that,
some kind of World War II terminology? Are ham radio operators still
around, even? Aren't we in the digital age?"

Yes, from the CEO of Radio Shack!

Oh, well!
