I can remember when Radio Shack had good employees. They sent out a great
woman who helped my parents use their first computer. They had bought it,
opened it, and set it up, but didn't turn it on for a year. It was just
about two years ago that I was talking to an employee farmiliar with
diode-transistor logic. He was replaced with the typical idiot. You would
think the employees less than 10 miles from their corporate headquarters
could be good.
