In the TTC, the 'basement' - floor 1 opened into the Tandy Center. On that same level were 6 meeting rooms and the Kornfeld Meeting room which was a fabulous place to have a meeting with the stadium seating. The second floor was the data center with the mainframes, various Unix, Linux, and AIX machines, along with all the Windows servers racks. Also on the 2nd floor were the systems programmer groups, and production control. On the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors were the corporate application development groups of the Tandy Information Services group, which comprised about 600 people. R&D if I remember was on the 6th floor. My department was on the 4th floor, and I had additional stints on the 5th and 2nd floors over the years before all of IT moved to the new Trinity River campus. The building was built to re-home the IT Department as we had outgrown a little over 3 floors in Tandy Tower 2. In fact, the IT department had a contest to name the building. Also, AST bought the computer manufacturing division, not Tandy. Tandy retained the name until 2000 when it re-branded itself as RadioShack. By then, Tandy had divested itself of most all of its various manufacturing plants and divisions, and the re-branding was a direction to focus on the 'core' of the business. Over the years, Tandy owned a lot of different ventures and created a lot of different ventures: RadioShack, OSullivan Furniture, Wolfe Nursery, Pier One Imports, Dillard's Department Stores, Alcon Labs, Tandy Crafts, Tandy Leather, Video Concepts, McDuff Electronics, Victor Computing, Computer City, Incredible Universe, MemTek, Lika Industries, Tandy Wire and Cable, and I believe there was a book store in there too......

Nicely done, Paul. Finish that book and I'll buy 10 copies and pass them out to people as "what are you complaining about, look what happened at Tandy" items....
