Yes, I sure miss that and back then sales staff knew their stuff per electronics. Nowdays walking into RS, it seems they know very little per technical info...and sometimes can't seem to locate a non-idiot box item (that RS carries/stocks) in their own store at times. I usually find it before they do.

It's a fricken travesty. Radio Shack was so cool back in the 70's when you could still go in and get electronics kits and individual components. I used to get some kind of electronics hobby kit every christmas when I was a kid. These days it's all idiot boxes for idiots.

Team Radio Shack or will it be....
Found this to be an interesting read after hearing of Team Radio Shack for 2010. Wonder if this will change anything at all?

Or like KFC, which totally shed it's redneckishness image by dropping the word "Kentucky". Or, was it because they don't really serve chicken??? We will never know.
