Tandy was once a major brand in personal computing, with its TRS-80 among the early 8-bit era's most magnificent and successful machines. By the 1990s, though, the salad days were gone and the bizarre nest of acquisitions behind the company-it started out as a leather supplies retailer, which shares the name to this day-saw the brand fade into that of subsidiary RadioShack until that, too, died in bankruptcy.

Whoever inherited the retail chain evidently inherited rights to the Tandy name with it: lo and behold, you may now buy a Tandy Wireless Keyboard and Mouse!

"Too bad they suck," reports Lazy Game Reviews. [Thanks, Andrew Singleton!]

For your evening listening pleasure, here is Kompressor with the Tandy-referencing classic Kompressor Does Not Dance.
