Radio Shack Selling Subway Cars on eBay
David Cantrell writes "The Radio Shack Corporation (formerly the Tandy Corporation) headquarters in Fort Worth, TX was one of the only companies in the world to have its own private subway system. Its main purpose in life was to move employees from their parked cars to the office building. About a year or so ago, Radio Shack decided the subway system was no longer needed and they shut it down permanently. Well, they are now selling the subway cars on eBay. For $5000US, you can get your very own Radio Shack Subway Car. Rails sold separately. Click for the eBay auction page."
All up in tha Mushmouth style?!?!?!
Tewks and Pags
They dropped their entire semiconductor line. I don't want preassembled garbage, or a bag full of capacitors just for the one I need.
Thanks for changing your business model, I'll be sure to frequent your store.
SAYWHATNOW?! Monopoly me in the ass. Let people post what they want.
The story has a hyperlink to ebay in addition to a hyperlink to the auction. Why do people insist on this sort of silly linking? That's like posting a NYT article and having "NYT" link to the index page while also having a link to the article. "No, I don't want to see the auction but hey, this ebay thing itself sounds interesting!" Adds nothing to the posting.
Ok, it's a small thing and this article is not a particularly egregious example of the practice...consider it the straw that broke the camel's back. I hate having to mouse over every link looking for the one that actually deals with the subject at hand. I see a day coming where every word links to its dictionary.com definition...
There are spelling and grammer errors throughout the history document located here. (linked to on the ebay action page fro the car.)
Now will my friends please stop emailing me about this!
