I remember when Radio Shack had dozen + aisles full of discrete components, kits any everything electronic. Now they barely got a 4' x 6' peg board for a few resistors/capacitors.
Like many leading company in their prime, they spend billions on R&D (personal computer in R.S. case) only to see clones under cutting them so they never recoup their money.
