And you could buy replacement balls for your gummed up mice balls at Radio Shack.

How about Lafayette Electronics. I bought a load of things from them.

Did RadioShack go out of business?

No. RadioShack is a trademark, and it has been owned by different entities in the past. The trademark is currently owned since May 2023 in the United States by Unicomer Group through RadioShack IP LLC. and operated by RadioShack USA LLC. under a license.

Tak a look on the web.

Life Before the Computer

Memory was something that you lost with age
An Application was for employment
A Cursor was someone who used profanity
A Program was a TV show
A Keyboard was a piano
A Web was a spider’s home
A Virus was the flu
A CD was a bank account
A Hard Drive was a long trip on a bad road
A Mouse Pad was where a mouse lived
And if you had a 3 ½ floppy … you just hoped nobody found out!

And an abacus was an analog computer invented several centuries before the electronic ones.
