Circa 1970s:
Radio Shack's Realistic Guide to 10-Codes and CB Slang
(slide decoder #68-1032). With this clever decoder, you
pull the walkie-talkie’s telescopic antenna to slide the
inner card (up or down) - then match a word or phrase with its
meaning in CB Slang. For example: a "Plain Wrapper" is an
unmarked police car.
The back of the card has Police 10-codes.
Any 10-code may be reversed by stating it as a question.
For example. 10-36? Means, "What is the correct
time?" |

A major change. After almost 90 years,
RadioShack changes (rebrands) its name to "THE SHACK".
To promote the new
name change, RadioShack developed "The Summer Netogether". Two massive 17
foot laptop computers were erected to kickoff the event. One laptop
was stationed at the Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco, the other in
Times Square, New York. Event MCs and spectators were able to view and
communicate with each other via a live video chat. At the same time,
Netogether was also promoted on the web. Viewers could watch the live
feed, meet a friend, or "Say Something" and watch their comment cascade past
the screen. |
