Everything on this 1991 sale page is now on your phone (for the most part)…. And who remembers those good ol’ days when you could spend hours in a Radio Shack, looking at the new stuff or planning your next world domination creation. Maybe it was just me…

I really miss those days of Radio Shack, CompUSA, Circuit City, even Fry’s. It was just a lot of fun to wander around the isles looking at new stuff, planning an upgrade, or just seeing what people created. I love online shopping, and shipping is so much better than back then, but getting to feel a product, turn it around, examine it up close, measuring it to see if it fits, all that was a journey worthy of any nerdy adventure in a D&D game.
I just wanted to stick this here. Dan wrote me a quick reply to this on Twitter which really brought back some fond memories of those days that I think I’d even forgotten: “Wasn’t just you, my friend— because I was with you at Radio Shack! Plowing through endless racks of audio and video adapters for whatever gawdawful reason we had!” — https://twitter.com/Anev/status/1486005959860232192?s=20&t=uhS-QB-dvl-0azvEC7jmEw
