Mine is in the basement. Or rather, my parents' TRS-80, which seems to be my responsibility to store. My parents upgraded (their) computer from a cassette tape boot to a floppy boot. That's kind of where it froze in development.
I also made some very primitive FM radio based walkie talkie systems when radios first became legal, using RadioShack bits and pieces. Before I could use it they somehow became less legal, I forget the rule change, but it was all good. I've never raced with tactical radios, only as a roving course marshal.
I always wished Radio Shack would bump it up that final 20%. Like if they got good audio speakers or amps or something, they have all the cables and such.
