The Tandy/Radio Shack connection

[abn]

One of my first personal computers, way back in the 1980's, was a Tandy, a brand sold exclusively by RadioShack as an IBM compatible.

I've occasionally wondered if there was any connection between RadioShack and Tandy Leather Co., and apparently there was. I thought I'd share this web page for anyone interested in the history between the two companies.

During the '70s, Tandy Corporation (separate from, and the parent company of, Tandy leather Company) acquired a bunch of different companies, among them Color Tile. The stock was split several times & while the shares increased, unfortunately, the values tended to go down.
