Hello Wayne - 

CA>>> If I was hired to solve the problem I guarantee you it
CA>>> would be solved. :-) 

WC>> Want to fix something, fix Rat Shack's web site, IMHO and
WC>> several store people's opinion it sucks. 

CA>> Seems there is always some 'hotshot' in every company that
CA>> thinks he/she is a 'webmaster' and they create some really
CA>> strange overly complex crud out there. 

WC> It's not all that complex, just retarded. No comprehensive
WC> PDF to download, the search engine failed to find the
WC> catalog listing for either the CR2032 CMOS battery or
WC> listing for the Teleprotector I was going to quote you the
WC> current price for. Even the limited "battery finder" search
WC> engine missed CR2032 but it's there on the site you just
WC> have to look through ALL the batteries :-( "Teleprotector"
WC> brought up several vague references but no price, picture
WC> or description adaquate to match it to the device I have. 

CA>> Even companies wise enough to hire a pro will then insist
CA>> on flash animation, overlays, frames, and other things
CA>> that add little or nothing but complexity and crash older
CA>> browsers. 

WC> And cause people like me who actually want to _find_ what
WC> I'm looking for go elsewhere. 

My daughter does web design and has her own company as a
sideline plus works as a manager for another company. She could
take on Radio Shack (she has associates, graphics designers
etc.). I could do it but would need my daughter's help locating
specialists for a really 'pro' look. ;-) 

Problem is Tandy has a bad reputation dealing with outside
contractors. They are notoriously cheap, anal control freaks,
and have destroyed companies that weren't on guard when dealing
with Tandy. 

It would be an 'adventure' or a 'war' but I would expect it to
become extremely unpleasant and ugly.
