The original manager at my local RS was trained in electronics in the
military. I used to enjoy talking 'shop' with him. He retired a few
years ago, so now it's an intellectual wasteland there. I don't think RS
really wants employees with electronics knowledge these days. It might
get in the way of pushing the cell phones. If the corporate clones at RS
were really honest about the current state of affairs in the company,
they would change the name to the 'Cell Phone Shack'.


Nah. The Cell Phone boom is over. Nearly everybody who wants a cell phone
has one. We are now in the age of cheap, cheesy dsiposable electonics.
They should call themselves "RCA Shack".

It's really a shame what happened to RCA. They used to be the worlds
premier electronic research company, perhaps with the inclusion of Ma
Bell. RCA invented the color television system (analog) we use today. A
little research on their patent record will give you an idea of what RCA
used to be.
