[Coco] The rise and fall of Radio Shack??

[Rob Rosenbrock]

IMO, the downfall was a combination of dissolving the computer line to focus on phones, and marketing practices that never evolved with their customer base. I often felt that they neglected the youth in later years when they could have inspired them to learn electronics.
