[BC] Re: Radio Shack Hangs in There!

[John Buffaloe]

I went to the Incredible Universe in San Diego exactly once.  I tried to buy something but they told me I couldn't without first registering.  I told them I didn't want to give them any information, just make my purchase.  They insisted I had to register first.  You know what happened after that.
   
  That store also became a Fry's.

**********************Correct Frye's bough the Dallas and the Atlanta stores. 
They used the Tandy-Radio Shack computer terminals for years.
