[Johnson] Comments on constructing/repairing BA equipment - Radio Shack

[W4AWM@aol.com]

Oh, I just gotta dump my $.02 in on this one!

Many years ago, when I used to visit my Mother in Wilton, CT., the local Rat 
Shack was staffed by a pair of idiots I quickly labeled as Dumb and Dumber.  
It got to the point where I would drop in when I saw a lot of customers in 
the store and listened to the "advice" these two were handing out.  It was 
better than the best night at the Improv!

One day, a customer came in and was having trouble with a certain network 
channel on his TV set.  After a lengthy explanation of how television works, 
Dumber proceeded to tell this hapless fellow that the network cameras were 
bad and always out of focus.  That was all I could take.  I butted into the 
conversation and explained that I was an engineer for that network and that 
the focus problem was between the idiot's ears.  He turned blood red and 
walked away.  'Nuf Said!

I have always refused to give these folks my address or zip code, just 
telling them it was a cash sale.  I have never had a problem with that, but 
in some cases, I could see them grit theit teeth.

73 and Happy New Year to all.

John,  W4AWM
