In reality, Ralph, my point was to call your attention to the fact that there are many, Many ways in which the system in use can fall victim to various network factors, and, of course, to point out, too, that low-investment devices, such as Radio Shack often sells, are intended to get your money, and not to provide value. They rely on the fact that you'll remind yourself, "Well, I should have known ... after all, it's Radio Shack."

The typical story involving Radio Shack is one of low quality and high price relative to quality.
