Tandy Computers sold out to AST (who also bought Grid)...part of the
deal was that AST computers were sold at Radio Shack, the deal didn't
last that long. AST also sold out to their majority investor (Samsung?)
when they were nearly out of business. Unrelated is the
RadioShack-Compaq deal...similar to deal cut by Sprint-RadioShack.

No, I knew about that one. I thought Tandy Computers were bought out by
Compaq too. Thats what I had heard, unless that was just a rumor
brought on by all the RS stores carrying Compaqs after the demise of the
Tandy line.

Visiting the RS web site, I see that it was indeed AST.
