C/PMuseum - Little Bits of Computing History

Blog Entry: 2006032912321015

I was in a local Radio Shack recently looking for a few parts I needed to complete some projects on this website, and was reminiscing with the sales rep about how many more parts used to be available at Radio Shack, back in the good old days. He replied by saying, "oh yes, you mean back when we were a real computer store" � and I responded by saying �no, back before you were a computer store at all. Why do you think it�s called Radio Shack anyway?� He just looked at me like I had two heads.
