Radio Shack abandons components

Tandy Computers sold out to AST (who also bought Grid)...part of the deal was that AST computers were sold at Radio Shack, the deal didn't last that long. AST also sold out to their majority investor (Samsung?) when they were nearly out of business. Unrelated is the RadioShack-Compaq deal...similar to deal cut by Sprint-RadioShack. -Chandra -----Original Message----- From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Chad Fernandez Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 4:30 AM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Radio Shack abandons components No, I knew about that one. I thought Tandy Computers were bought out by Compaq too. Thats what I had heard, unless that was just a rumor brought on by all the RS stores carrying Compaqs after the demise of the Tandy line. Visiting the RS web site, I see that it was indeed AST. Chad Fernandez Michigan, USA Iggy Drougge wrote:
