RHC: Here in Canada, Radio Shack sold out to (I believe) Bell Canada
who changed their name to "The Source", and who plan to add their cell
phones to the regular line of stock. Radio Shack in the USA is a
totaslly different company.

I agree with you. We used to say "gonna go to the Crap Shack to buy
such and such". I guess they are attempting to turn a negative into a
positive. Good luck !!
