CueCats and the RS2001 Catalog - Employee (Score 2)

yeah, i worked for radioshack, until 8/20 because now i'm moving for college. anyway, yes, the cuecat is meant for the 2001 catalog. and according to internal memos, they cannot be distributed because the site is/was not operational at that moment. also, internal memos claim that any employee that doesn't get the customer's name and address when giving out a CAT will be terminated. RS knows the value of these things to people like us, so they're keeping track of everyone. the CAT uses a LED, not a laser, and uses a PS/2 passthrough cable to the keyboard (memos give guidephrases in tech support... "remember! cats and mice don't mix, so tell customers to plug it into the keyboard!" as for the USB version, yes one will be available, but NOT publicly. you have to CLAIM you have the compaq presario that only has FIREWIRE & USB... (stupid POS system). the USB versions are ONLY for those customers, since they don't have ps/2, serial, or parallel ports. and all stores have the catalogs, but it's up to the discretion of the salesperson whether or not you get it free. some people (pay is commission based) will require you to buy something over X amount of dollars, where X usually is 10$. yeah RatShack has some issues regarding the intelligence of its employees, but they're going to carry a crapload more of PC equipment instore... a few UPS's, the MS Intellimouse Optical (49.99). check out the catalog. it's a good read while in the bathroom :P -Greg
