Those are specifically the Tandy outlets I was referring to. The
Computer
Centers in the US have been closed about that long as well. Nowadays
it's
depressing to go into a Radio Shack store and see a couple of crappy IBM
Aptivas when you remember such ahead-of-their-time systems as the TRS-80
Model 16 and the Tandy 2000. Although I will admit to buying
peripherals
and software at Tandy's Computer City chain in recent years.
