    Radio Shack: You've Got Questions?

    Sorry, we're closed.

    Radio Shack to close up to 1,100 stores.

    Full story here.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I miss going in for twinlead and having them try to sell me the "lower loss 75 ohm coax". Yeah. They said it is lower loss because 75 ohms is less than 300.

    I'm surprised they didn't try to trade you up to a cell phone.

    You got questions? We got cellphones.

    Still think it was a good idea to sell nothing but cellphones? :chin:

    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
