Hitting the sh**, they've been rolling down the hill long enough
It a shame really, but the loss of component sales, poor marketing and influx of crap products started a long time ago. The maker movement is bigger than it ever has been, and they could have capitalised off it but instead they tried to sell chinese crap, gadgets and overpriced cables. The last insult was the lack of local marketing, we have a fairly large store nearby but most residents didn't even know they existed. Sadly they will not be missed, Amazon took thier place...
