[ADXA] Radio Shack

Ran across this newspaper article this morning, and found out the new CEO of Radio Shack thinks like we do... he can't figure it out.  It explains in part  why you can't buy RG-8U coax or coax connectors at their stores anymore.

FORT WORTH, TX-Despite having been on the job for nine months, RadioShack CEO Julian Day said Monday that he still has "no idea" how the home electronics store manages to stay open.

. . . "There must be some sort of business model that enables this company to make money, but I'll be damned if I know what it is," Day said. "You wouldn't think that people still buy enough strobe lights and extension cords to support an entire nationwide chain, but I guess they must, or I wouldn't have this desk to sit behind all day."


. . . "Have you even been inside of a RadioShack recently?" Day asked. "Just walking into the place makes you feel vaguely depressed and alienated.

. . . "Even the name 'RadioShack'-can you imagine two less appealing words placed next to one another?" Day said. "What is that, some kind of World War II terminology? Are ham radio operators still around, even? Aren't we in the digital age?"


. . . "I know one thing," Day continued. "If Sony and JVC start including gold-tipped cable cords with their products, we're screwed."
