In every Radio Shack company store (I don't know about the remaining few
franchise stores), there's a set of binders _on display_ for special order
products, mostly electronics garbage.. One of them includes software for
old computers, Color Computer, Tandy 6000, early semi-PC-compatibles, etc
It surprised the hell out of me to find it, but it's in every store I've
visited lately.

One does sell outdated software for (well,
usually) a smaller than normal
fee. Tandy. They still sell software that runs on the original CoCo1 like
Mega-bug and the like on cassette and disk for as low as $2.50 or so. They
still have a small amount of cartridge software for sale!
Here is a stupid CoCo question, how does one go about buying this software
from them? I'm assuming the typical Tandy Sales drone will go, "Huh, nope,
we don't have any such product" (note this is just an assumption on my
part, I've been dealing with to many idiot computer salespeople lately).
