   From what I understand, the new RS owners are acutely aware of past   
   mistakes.  When I worked for RS, they were just getting into cell   
   phones.  Since I was (and still am) an amateur radio operator, they put   
   my callign where my name went and my name underneath that on my name   
   badge.  The other employees, save for the store manager, wondered why   
   everyone went to me when they were looking for electronics and A/V   
   parts.    
      
   I do hope RS comes back.  A lot of my otherwise unhappy child/teen years   
   were spent in RS stores and looking at those wonderful catalogs.
