On a whim, I just searched "Whatever became of Radio Shack?". Maybe I'm behind the times and maybe someone already posted this news, but I discovered Radio Shack is back ... as an online retailer.
Some venture group, REV, acquired the remnants of Radio Shack and took them back as an online retailer. There are no plans for a brick and mortar storefront, but its not specifically ruled out, either. I'll take that over the alternative!
