"Mashable knows that time is a cruel mistress, and invites readers to remember a rosier time for Radio Shack with a look back at one of the company?s old catalogs from 1981, when phones still had cords and rotary dials. It?s a neat look at just how quick technology changes, or (maybe) at just how old we all really are."

(WOW, having worked there fulltime and part-time for much of 3-4 years, I gotta say that 15 years before my time there The Catalog was a VERY different thing! Pretty much BYTE or Compute! magazine, full of ads trying to sell you overpriced instantly-obsolete hardware )
