  • "Everytime I hear about RadioShack being sold or acquired I make a sad chuckle. Anyhow I wanted to know what ChatGPT "thought" about it so I asked it to write a Haiku and here it is....

    In obsolete aisles,
    Gadgets of a bygone age,
    Radio Shack fades.
    

    Great show, keep it up!" -- Rocky Hill (aka Pedro Pena)
