These things are great devices and very functional. Still, I curse these guys since they enabled people to waste countless hours of my time over the years on ridiculous conference calls that would have been better handled by . . . email.

Oh wait, I hate email too.

But I loved the old Radio Shack. On a tangential note, Tandy Leather Co. took a precipitous dive as well. Where have all the makers gone, whether of circuits or leather things?
