I've just read this thread containing 50+ complaints about Radio Shack.
What I would like to know is:  Why do we have to shop at RS to get
electronic supplies?  Why aren't there other electronic stores in
competition with RS?  Well, maybe there are in your area (let me know)
but where I live they are the only thing going.  And boy is that ever
frustrating!  Aren't there laws about monopolies?  Aren't we living under
a competitive free-market economy where stores that customers do not like
to go to will be competed with by other stores?  Isn't that the way it's
supposed to work?  I mean, RS does seem to usually have what I am looking
for, but I still would like the option at least to do business elsewhere.
You know, like maybe an electronics store where the salesmen know what
they are talking about...

Ben.
