Radio Shack may have been selling IBMs by 1995, but by 1998, they were in a big partnership with Compaq instead. I worked at one then while in college and earned great commissions on them; they were the big ticket. The Radio Shack strategy at that time was shifting towards licensing big name products such as Compaq, Sprint PCS mobile phones, and Sprint cordless landline phones. They even had Scotty from Star Trek promoting a battery club!

Ultimately they got completely blown away by the rise of big box stores such as CompUSA and Best Buy, though.
