| PS - My first contact with Radio Shack was when it was a mail
|      order electric components supplier located in Boston, MA,
|      and I was in the US Naval Electronics School at the Great
|      Training Base, back during the Korean War.

It wasn't just a mail order outfit.  It was an immensely busy store just
off Scollay square, and I was inside many times; I'd come across the
river from M.I.T. to get, say, a matched pair of 6L6 audio output tubes.
