[NJARC] Why the Internet didn't kill Radio Shack

[Alex Magoun]

Per this Fortune reporter (
http://fortune.com/2015/04/01/why-the-internet-did-not-kill-radio-shack/?xid=gn_editorspicks&google_editors_picks=true),
though I'm curious what the profit margin is/was on selling components to
restorers/DIYers/hackers/makers compared to cell phones.  Besides, it was
selling, or trying to sell, consumer electronics at least 40 years ago.
