      Radio Shack is trying a new tack in dealing with their reputation as
a maker of low-quality electronics.  They've arranged to use the Panasonic
name, under licence from Mishibushi, on Tandy/Radio Shack machines.  
Panasonic doesn't sell computers in the U.S., so if you see Panasonic on
a computer, it comes from the people who brought us the Trash-80.
