Remember when Radio Shack sold actual electronics? Components, circuit boards, stuff to construct a ham radio or build a TV from scratch? We used to have Tandy, which sold the same sort of items. We now have Maplin, which is the "modern" equivalent. Bought so much AV stuff from these places in the past which is now redundant and sitting in a box in my garage... Headphone splitters, AV cables, input switchers, etc. I once had my TV, CD player, radio, DVD player and MiniDisc player all linked into one ampilifer via a multi-channel input switcher... "Look... Look... If you press this button here, you can switch over to the MiniDisc player!"Modern Technology Yeah...Tandy owned Radio Shack. I still use a lot of that stuff. In the room I use for my gym I have a laptop, a Blu-ray player and a TV hooked up to an old amplifier with a set of stereo speakers. But the switching is all done at the amp. I also have a 5-disc CD player in a box somewhere that I've been thinking of breaking out and hooking up to it.

That old amplifier and it's speakers had the best sound out of all the music systems I've ever bought

I don't remember it. I did a quick google search and it appears to be a Canadian thing.

Red-flavoured Kool-Aid FTW.
Lemonade & Pink Lemonade are also acceptable.

remember McDonalds pizza!? I remember Burger King tacos, but never heard of McD's pizza. I wonder if it was a regional thing? I don't remember BK tacos or McD pizzas.
