[ML-General] No More Radio Shack

[James Fluhler]

At first glance I thought you meant Melbourne AUS, bc in Australia there is a killer store called Jaycar that is like the old W&W we used to have in town just updated and better. Every time I went to Jaycar I would think man wish we had these in the states.
