This is what they get for hiring a CEO from outside the company back in the early 90's.
I recommend Tandy's Money Machine for anyone interested in other early day info about the cash cow of Tandy corp. Did you know that some of the first "Tandy" computers were literally purchased IBM's with the case changed? People did time in jail for that but it was gutsy shit that made them who they were. Was a good company for a long time. RIP
Great story! I didn't know that about Tandy's. My friend in grade 8 had one. I miss the Radio Shack that was, but I think it was a function of the times and not really applicable today, like Blockbuster.
