Radio Shack has been slowly diminishing the individual parts and goin for
the glamour sales of consumer electronics mostly anymore. Won't be long and
the days of RS/Lafayette/Olson being in the nearby neighborhood strip malls
for those that want to "do it themselves" will be totally gone.

-> I imagine this to be the case... and another blow to Enginerds and
