RadioShack May Close Half of its Retail Locations, Sell Other Half to Sprint

R.I.P. Radio Shack. "video killed the "Radio" star..."
Another casualty of innovation. Understandable, but this one when first hearing about their final long and painful death...made me sad. Many of techies that are about 45 years and up have a special place in our hearts for Radio Shack. Sounds funny, but for some, the brand's death is related to the end of some of our fond childhood memories.
Radio Shack WAS the place for anything and everything "back-in-the-days". How many people have said sometime in their life, "Radio Shack will have it..." Anything you needed regarding electronics, they had it. I always remembered if i needed anything, i would first go to Radio Shack. Then some years ago, i went into Radio Shack when i needed something quickly and to my surprise...it wasn't there and the employee said, "you have to order it.." Then i had to run to Fry's to finally find what i needed..
Rest in peace Radio Shack. Reality has hit. Everything dies sometime. Almost 88 years on the earth for a company now adays is a good run...
