Hello Folks, This is a remake of the original thread since the original player is no longer able to maintain it due to other reasons.Shrimp Po Boy - 6 Jumbo Shrimp, 2 Mayonnaise, 2 Artisan Bread - 16 hours I think part of the difficulty with booking a decent hotel in Paris is the sheer amount of choice - that and the fact that it can be hard to find out what the hotel is really like until you get there, the number of hotels in the city that I have turned up at only to find them to be cramped and old fashioned is ridiculous! You can find a few good central Paris hotels near the Eiffel Tower although I'm not sure exactly how good value they are - I think there are some budget options. If you have money to burn though, there are some beautiful and opulent choices in Paris - De Crillon and Hotel de Banville, for example. Knowledgeable staff would be a great addition. I called all 5 of our local radio shack stores last long weekend. I was looking for a crystal, and a npn transistor (very common).Not one person who answered the phone knew what a crystal was, one guy actually suggested I that I call the glass sculpture gift store in the same mall.Only one guy knew what a transistor was, but didn’t bother to check if they were in stock. I found out the hard way after a drive across town. Then he tried to sell me batteries.I stopped into another store on the way back, who also tried to sell me batteries and found the transistor myself despite the employee insisting they had nothing of the sort. Then he tried to sell me batteries.As far as picking a major product that DIYers would love to pick up locally, I think Arduino boards and proto kits would be a hands down favourite. Reading some of these comments is hilarious. Stop selling cell phones and consumer electronics? Only hire people with electronics/DIY knowledge? Are you serious?Like already said above, the VAST majority of people are simple consumers. They have zero technical knowledge and have no interest in even replacement parts, let alone actually building something from scratch.Thinking that refocusing Radio Shack on an extreme minority of the customer base is somehow going to make them more relevant than playing to the majority of American consumers is ludicrous.As much as we would like it, there simply isn’t enough demand for a large chain of electronic component/equipment retailers in the 21st century.
