RadioShack Closing Hundreds of Stores

> I love that they sell some nerdy electronics stuff...

The nerdy stuff is their bread and butter.

The dumbass who has been running thc company (one has to wonder how a fake theology degree qualifies him to run a national chain of electronics stores) has been trying to get them to compete with Best Buy and Circuit City in consumer electronics and has been choking their core business.

Now they're discovering that competing in the cut-throat consumer electronics world isn't a big-profit generator.

Which anyone who has been around to see Crazy Eddie, the Wiz, 42nd Street Photo, [your local chain store here], etc. collapse could have told them.

I don't go into Radio Shack very often because they never stock what I'm looking for anymore: circuit boards, project boxes, LED's, resistors, capacitors, plugs, cables, adapters, power bricks, soldering tips... they've forced me to buy them online or to make the haul to the nearest electronics supply place.

If I need a new cell phone, I can get that from the cell phone kiosk at the mall or from Amazon -- Why would anyone go to Radio Shack for that?
