The purchase of Radio Shack by CPQ is interesting. I'm not sure that Radio Shack has the "PC" reputation that the CompUSAs, Stapels, Office Max, Micro Age have. Radio Shack might come with considerable baggage which is not directly related to the CPQ core business. If CPQ was considering the retail business, they might be better off using their own name, developing a full service operation including repair,
and offering a full line of software, printers, parts, etc. However, they might be biting off more then they can chew.
