So ..... Radio Shack is (more or less) finally
dead.
There are still plenty of RS stores open for business. (Although I read
this morning that they're not getting new shipments, which makes them
essentially clearance stores.) Apparently the company is legally allowed
to
close a maximum of 200 stores per year. Or
something like that.
Horn-tooting: the Wall Street Journal interviewed me about RS back at
World Maker Faire last fall. They published the story online today and
it'll be in print tomorrow.

Behind a paywall, y'all....
