what is it?
Went and looked it up. Apparently they're barcode readers. Kind of cute shape! Radioshack is apparently an electronics store found in the USA. Yanks think everyone lives in the US.
I wonder if these predated usb connectors? If it does, they must have had a hell of a time getting them to connect to non-universal ports on the various machines people owned.
It was US based, but there were stores in United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. It was owned by Tandy Corporation who made early home computers starting in the late 1970’s and home electronics gear. (They originally started as a leather and craft supplier though)
