Comment on Adafruit acquires RadioShack?

Comments

I guess I didn't realize before seeing this that Adafruit was of the scale that they could buy a major brand like Radio Shack. Although, in retrospect, I suppose Radio Shack isn't worth much anymore.

I have so much Radio Shack branded crud around my house (and that was even before I went on a shopping spree through like six stores undergoing clearance), they used to be so much more than a store. I'm glad to see it finally end up in good hands.

I can't believe it either. I always thought of Adafruit as the underdog, and to me, it still seems like a David and Goliath story.
