I hope so.  I always found it strange that as the Maker movement was going up,
Radio Shack was reducing its electronic parts and equipment - replacing it with
cell phones.

It would be really nice to be able to make a short trip to get those parts that
I need to finish the current project - instead of ordering online and having to
wait a week or so.

So we'll see.  If the new Radio Shack is just going to be some online company,
I doubt that they will succeed.  There's already some well-established
companies in that space.
