""We are accelerating our evolution a notch this holiday season by providing consumers with a 5.1 DVD Player at a low price point directly via the Internet."" It took just two years from DVD's national launch in August 1997 for the format to ship 1 million units, compared with four years for compact discs and 11 years for VHS. In its first two years, DVD players have outsold the VCR by 13 to one and the CD player by four to one. Nearly 3 million DVD players are currently in U.S. homes. Comjet Information Systems is an $8 million manufacturer and distributor of computer and consumer convergence products based in Taipei, Taiwan. A veteran in the computer industry for 14 years, Comjet diverges into the consumer electronics industry with the HomeMighty product series to become the forerunner in DVD and Internet convergence technologies. In additional to DV-A1X, Comjet will be at COMDEX '99 (Booth S1329-C3) introducing a host of new products to their convergence product line.
