no more Radio Shack?

I remember telling Steven Gibbs that I did not see any Radio Shacks in the future. This is a problem because he uses parts from RS to build his own HDR units. Well, it seems that a name change in branding is afoot. Good old Radio Shack will simply rebrand as the shack.

Not every sleepy little town electronics shop has to stock common component parts for your HDR, but we could always depend on Radio Shack, err THE SHACK...

Radio Shack in trouble

Well, as many of you know, Steven Gibbs gets most of his components from Radio Shack, therefore if the store were to go under, he might stop building HDR units. Radio Shack is in trouble as the economy gets worse there is less spending on gadgets and gizmos. People focus on food & fuel - on things they need to survive.

In a prior conversation with Steven Gibbs I told him than on an alternate time line I saw that the Radio Shack stores were closed and that he stopped building the HDR. This made me sad, but I guess it could happen of the stores continue to do poorly.
