That's waht the NASA administrator said in the episode where homer goes to space. I once saw a behind the scenes show about the creation the episodes. The funniest thing was that is animated in Korea and the Korean's dont understand American humor. Some of the animators had a look of horror on their face when describing Homer choking Bart. So when I watch the show I think of those Korean animators and laugh.
Here in los angeles we have 145.220 for folks like you who just want to talk about antennas and coax vs. ladder line. For most people, this is just boring. For the rest of the people who like something different, we have the world famous 147.435 repeater. It is known as the "freedom of speech repeater. Kevin Mitnic used to be well known on the repeater. So if you dont want to communicate with "lids, kids and space-cadets", change the channel, we dont want to hear you either. You are a prime example of why the hobby is pretty much dead.
That is why, in my area, RS employees make $8.25 an hour. Day labors make $10 an hour and cant even speak English and are much more polite than any RS employee. I lease commercial property to a RS in Los Angeles, so I have to deal with their bullshit every day. The biggest problem they have is employee theft and vandalism. That is what the cameras are for.
I have found it is better not to ask Radio Shack employees any questions at all. They will give you misinformation before they will admit that they don't know. I think the best computer Radio Shack ever sold was the TRS-80. They currently sell low end Compaq's at almost twice the price as Fry's. Now that I think of it, MS and RS are perfect for each other, selling overpriced crap to mindless people.
As with other Philips products, once they are discontinued, you are on your own. They will probally farm out support to a third party and charge $$$ for drivers and such.
