RadioShack has roughly 4,300 stores across North America and it has plans to sell half of those stores to Sprint.
If it can't find a buyer for the rest, it will close them. Workers at stores have already told reporters they have been directed to ship inventory to other stores and cut prices on the rest.
Older "nerds" will remember the Tandy line of computers affectionately called the "trash 80" ( an allusion to the model name TRS-80 ). RadioShack's TRS-80 Model 100 was one of the last products that Bill Gates actually wrote the software for.
RadioShack opened its first store in downtown Boston in 1921, but it never lost the reputation for being cheesy and cheap.
It will be a sad day for many of the tube testers from the 80's.
