I thought Radio Shack products set the standard for low-quality at an
unfair price.  I am interested in changing my fan, but I think I'll
look for a replacement fan from someone else.  A friend of mine told
me that Radio Shack was once known to purchase cosmetic defects and
other marginal electronic parts and pawn the off as top-quality
devices.  An old officemate, out of ignorance, purchased a walkman for
in-office (gentle) use.  It lasted a good solid 2 months -- some kind
of record for Radio Shack products!

I trust Radio Shack enough to buy their battery holders -- that is
all.
