the postal spam with radio shack went out years ago. they still ask for it
but much in the manner of a beggar looking for change--a raised eyebrow is
enough to put them off that pursuit. on top of that, it was the first place
that i ever saw any home-automation equipment well over ten years ago. the
problem with radio shack as a resource is that their habits and wares are
geared to appease the lowest common denominator, so they end up tied at some
vital business organ to mushysoft.
