Years ago, RadioShack was revered for its electronic parts selection and expert staff. If the 555 timer IC for your Apple II went south, you could always find a replacement at the Shack.<\/p>\n

But earlier this year \u2013 after 11 consecutive quarterly losses \u2013 the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. While this news shocked few, longtime admirers wondered: What happened to RadioShack?<\/i><\/p>\n

A recent Yahoo! Makers<\/i> article explored the topic, featuring contributions from several business executives, including Charles Whiteman, MotionPoint\u2019s SVP of Client Services. Whiteman shared fond memories of the retailer, and provided several key insights on its decline.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
