Bottom line here is with the "consumerization" of many technologies,
computers and so forth.... the fact of the matter is that it has moved yet
another step away from a hobbyist niche to a "Buy It - Unpack It - Plug it
in" world and Radio Shack no longer caters to the chip-level/technical
mindset anymore, but to the consumer mindset who still can't manage to set
the clock on their vcr unless the thing practically does it by itself.

I agree. My frustration is that they don't seem to recognize thier
limitations.
So many times I encounter people at RS, CompUSA,
Homedepot, etc. that seem
clueless
but refuse to accept that a customer might know more about a subject than
they
know. When I encounter someone that clearly knows more
than me, I listen
and
try to learn. Sadly, these people argue that what they
do not understand
or know
must be wrong.
