at least in canada anyway
over the past couple of years i have watched radio shack become more and more of a strereo and computer store than my beloved parts store.
i went in today looking for edge connectors for my vic 20, knowing full well that is was a vain attempt to find them, but went anyway
i did not find the edge connectors, but what i found blew me away. breaboards back? ic's? led's? etc...
a sales rep came up to me, and i mentioned i was stunned to see a breadboard here again.
he told me that radio shack got a new board of directors, and that they were attempting to win back their hobbyist consumers, as they were not making money on computer sales etc.. as much as they expected.
also mentioned to come back in a week and see more stuff!!
hooray!
