Last week's trivia answer

I was born in 1919 in Fort Worth, Texas, and began by selling leather shoe parts. In 1963, I bought an electronics chain whose name I took as my own. In 1977, I introduced the first massproduced personal computer: the TRS-80® microcomputer. Today I'm a major retailer of name-brand wireless communication products, along with all kinds of gadgets, gizmos and gifts. With 6,000-plus locations and 35,000 employees, I rake in more than $4 billion annually and have earned high marks for my customer service. You might call me a wireless transmitter hut. Or a broadcast bungalow. Who am I?
