No, it's true...Radio Shack is gay! In fact, the whole consumer elctronics industry is gay. The steel mills and the aerospace industry have been gay for quite some time now. I suspect that telecommunications is a little light in the loafers too, but I'm not sure...it's just a hunch.
My first mixer was a RadioShack 4 mic/line mixer. It was powered by a 9-volt bat. You can't appreciate where you are if you don't look back where you've been.
