This is a real shame. Radio Shack has strayed far from its roots - they
no longer even sell Radio Shack brand radios!

But there's really nowhere else to go when you need a small electronic
part such as an unusual adapter, different gauges of resin-core solder,
audio-video cables, unusual batteries, etc. And if they go "belly-up"
in your location, you're just out of luck. Sure you can buy from some
of the mail-order companies (Allied Electronics - owned by Radio Shack,
I believe - is particularly good) but you must wait for delivery and
shipping charges can be somewhat high. It is often uneconomical to buy
a small item from a mail-order house.

I hope they'll realize this and leave the digital cameras,
computers,.cellular telephones, toys, and so forth, to other retailers
and concentrate on being the best electronics store they once were.

Best,

Joe
