[Coco] More poor news for Radio Shack

If they had prices like digikey and mouser with free shipment to the local store,
I would use them constantly.  No doubt.  :)

If they could get their pricing down in line, then the added advantage of being able to order online, and then drive a few miles to pick up your items tomorrow, might be attractive. Along with that, it would not force the small stores with little room for storage to have to try and have anything and everything in stock.
