RadioShack.
I remember going as a kid, once. I was 5 I think. It was....unique. A shit ton of red I remember. And cheap cell phone cords. Wish I could've experienced it more. Especially during the 90s. But that's before my time.
I remember going to RadioShack as a kid too and they had a Tandy computer setup. It was magical for 8 year old me. I think they even did repairs back then because that electrical soldering smell is seared in my memory.
That sounds amazing. Always wanted a Tandy. Even if it's before my time.
My family's fist computer was a Tandy 1000 around 92. I was so stoked to make video games on the fly like Clarissa Explains It All did.
Little did I know game development takes a little more elbow grease than cutting and pasting pictures of your friends into an existing game format.
I learned a lot about getting around in DOS because the desktop OS it shipped with was garbage, at least.
The clone PC junior for the masses!
