Chaps, who did taps
Aren't tapping anymore, they're doing choreography
Chicks, who did kicks
Aren't kicking anymore, they're doing choreography

I wonder if they will be mining crypto with a data center full of these.

Thought they went bankrupt and the brand completely died, but looks like they still make products and actually sell some of their stuff in stores. Honestly, I'm surprised Radio Shack lasted as long as they did.

In Canada Radio Shack has been re-branded as The Source. They are now a mini Best Buy.

Incredible Universe, owned by Tandy Corporation used to be my favorite store. Had to get my parents to drive me ~30 miles to visit the nearest one, but it was an awesome store for a computer gaming geek in the mid 90s.

Yeah right. That thing probably has at most 4mb of disk space

The MSRP for that rig looks like about $1398.
