Sigh. Radio Shack files bankruptcy. More nostalgia than anything
for me as they really haven't been so useful for me for a long
time. Their demise is no surprise - they kept losing their
focus. I worked for them for a short time in the early 1990s,
which was oddly enough fulfillment of a dream I had in the early
1980s; middle-school Ken loved Radio Shack and vowed, "Someday,
I WILL work here!". I knew "the nerd" in those awful 80s TV
commercials for Radio Shack was a lot like me and I was fine
with it. [With the Tandy Color Computer 2, then the Tandy 1000
TL computers, PC-Link, Deskmate, and my whole introduction to
the Internet as it was in the late 80s, it was significant for
me at the time] And so I worked there for a short time. Once
dream fulfilled, I moved on. Always had simple dreams and
achieved them all so far. Never was a BIG dreamer (peace on
earth and all that), but I've always been a frequent dreamer.
Achievable dreams I guess.
