Got the word today at the neighborhood RadioShack that a catalog will
once
again be available---no date offered but should be soon.

Well, that's a step in a good direction, I suppose. Their Web-site
search engine from Hell was really getting on my nerves.

Now, if they'd just quadruple the size, selection breadth, and quality
of their electronic-components rack...

I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will
boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads!

Sadly, I think them doing that - is wishful thinking. Actually, were it not
for the Cell Phones and some other miscellaneous items, it seems to me that
they would be out of business in the not too distant future. Electromics
"toys" - can be had at Wal-Mart or any other place, same with TVs, Stereos,
Computers and phone accessories. The "few" scanners they sell isn't enough
to hold them. I really do think they're on their last legs. IF they go on
longer, then all the better. But I think it is going to take a major miracle
to pick them up. I used to go in a RS store at least 3 times a week. I'm
lucky if I walk in one - once every couple months. They simply have nothing
to offer me anymore. I can get all they have - elsewhere, and usually
cheaper - WITHOUT - the "Do you need a cell phone?" pitch.
