[TriLUG] Article on Radio Shack's Demise

[Glenn Hennessee via TriLUG]

Southeastern Radio and Electronics on Hillsborough St in Raleigh did a good
business but finally closed 15+ years ago. I know that the Chemistry
department at NCSU bought a lot of resistors, capacitors, etc there because
I went along a number of times. When electronics in instruments went to LSI
it ended our going there because instruments were no longer end user
repairable.
