[Dewey3]

Yes, another fine example of how bad things can get when the competition
goes away!  While they managed to hold strong for a little while, Radio
Shack has been losing their *real value* since the closure of Lafayette
Electronics (my local store on Queens Chapel Rd in Chillum), Heathkit (my
local store on Richmond Hwy in Alexandria) and Allied Radio, eaten up by
Tandy... ahem, Radio Shaft.
