With all these desirable cookie cutter Taiwan derivative computers out on the market it really makes you wonder when we’re going start getting BestBuy/Insignia branded laptops being sold like RadioShack used to do.
Apparently it was the other way around: Tandy started as a hobby store and bought the tiny RadioShack brand in 1963, and spun off Tandy Leather at some point. I never knew they were founded by the same dude. My mom bought beads and supplies from Tandy Leather when I was a kid and I never made the connection to Tandy computers and Radio Shack!
