[HCDX] Radio shack to file for bankruptcy

We have depended on them for years of easy access to DIY parts, kits and,
yes, a bit of technical expertise.

I still have my DX150B sitting on a lab bench running 24/7 -- as it has
since the
day I bought it on November the 3rd, 1973!

RS slowly drifted away from their die hard DIY electronics experimenter
types
over the years to cater to the latest fad -- and now they are adrift in
irrelevance.

I will be sad to see them go -- but times have changed.
