The original eulogy is here:

By all accounts they're talking about different eras - this one ending in 1992, and the original starting in 2004. As such, they could probably both be perfectly valid.



And one is about the Tandy corporation and their PC projects, the other is about working retail in a Radio Shack store. VERY easy to see that there could be wildly different perceptionns there. And I do recall a time in the mid/late 1980s when Tandy PCs were among some of the better PC clones of the day.


Yes, I linked to that one in my first paragraph. I'm sure he's telling 100% the truth as he lived it down in the stores. I just wanted people to know that that wasn't all there was to Tandy/RadioShack.


Considering the rise and fall of RadioShack and talk of the glory days, they probably are both valid.
