RadioShack closing 1,100 stores after dismal holidays

I honestly can't think of a less relevant technology sales channel. Out of curiosity I walked into one not all that long ago and honestly didn't see a single thing in there I was interested in buying except for a few oddball radio receivers I really wouldn't have a use for. And everything cost more than I could get online or down the street at another store.

It's a shame because I do remember going there in the 80s to get computer odds and ends and TVs and such. But the RadioShack store format, intended to sell radio parts and other do-it-yourself odds and ends hasn't been able to keep up with the more disposable consumer electronics of today.

Hell, they didn't even have Arduino kits or robotics sets I could have made a case for.
