Contrast these with Radio Shack sales brochures. Radio Shack was fascinating, full of neat gadgets, but as dull as paste compared to the wonders of the DAK and Sharper Image catalogs (and we had a Sharper Image store in Seattle at that time...a great place to wander into at lunch time).
- ghaff 3y agoRadio Shack was this odd bifurcation of traditional "maker" stuff that, to be honest, in a pre-web world was better than nothing other than the rare local community and mostly low- to maybe mid-quality stereo etc. gear that mostly worked because "real" stereo stores intimidated a lot of people and they were more or less the only game in town for component cables at sane prices. But, yes, they never adjusted their offerings or their marketing to make them more broadly appealing.
