In 2000, shareholders approved changing the name of RadioShack's parent 
company – Tandy Corporation – to RadioShack Corporation to focus attention on 
one company with one vision: To become the most powerful one-stop shop to 
connect people to the wonders of modern technology. The company's New York 
Stock Exchange symbol officiallly became "RSH" on May 31 of that year.

a narcissistic woman built like a stripper.  --  Tony Woodlief
