Digital Armor's New CD Armor For Software Discs Passes Independent
Testing
CALGARY, Alberta, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Armor Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DGTL - news) is pleased to announce that it has received the results of an independent laboratory testing of its New CD Armor for the Software Market.
The test results validate the suitability of the new CD Armor for software.
The tests were conducted using both a Gateway computer as well as a DELL computer. The CDs installed in the computers were a TEAC 8X CD-ROM and a Sony 40X CD-ROM. The CD software used in the testing were Microsoft Corp. Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Life, The Face of Life, loaded with large MPEG files. The tests as reported show gigabytes of information transferred from the CDs with zero errors.
The testing was independently conducted by The Technology House, LTD of Solon, Ohio, USA (TTH). TTH is a leader in project management, product design and development. (http://www.tth.com)
Mr. Ian Tweedie, President and CFO of Digital Armor stated, ''We are pleased with the results of these recent independent tests. With the high cost of PC software and PC games, the new CD Armor product for this CD category will be a welcome addition to homes and businesses.''
CD Armor consists of two optically clear protective shields which are attached to the CD to protect it at all times from scratches and damage. The shields have a patented interlocking clasp system and are attached to each side of the CD using the proprietary CD Armor Installer. If scratches damage the protective shield, it may be removed and replaced with a new shield.
The current CD Armor product is designed and recommended for music CDs. In 1998, an estimated 2.5 Billion Music CDs will be sold worldwide, with the United States accounting for 30 percent of the market. The Company estimates the installed base of music CDs will approach 20 Billion by the year 2000. The annual average growth rate of other CD formats such as CD-ROM, Sony PlayStation, CD-R, CD-RW and DVD is projected to experience better than 12 percent to 15 percent per annum growth for the next five years from a 1998 base of over 2 Billion.
