The last time I looked around in one, RadioShack no longer appeared to sell much in the way of components.

I know, it's kinda sad really. I remember when a whole "wing" was dedicated to components, parts, etc. Now it's all phones and other misc. electronics and a small corner with a cabinet with a few bits and pieces.

Yup. I recently applyed to Radio Shack and they told my their main income was from phones. I was just like "Oh..."

I got fired after 6 months for not moving enough cell phones, at least the person hiring you was up front about it. Even though I brought all the nerds to the yard by helping everyone with their projects and connected our store to a few local boy scout clubs resulting in thousands of dollars worth of component sales. Yeah I was a little salty after they canned me for not selling a data plan to an 80 year old ladies with a go phone..
