TODAY'S trivia: What best-selling gadget helped stave off an economic train wreck for retailers this past Christmas? Anyone? Anyone? All right, here's a hint: its crisp digital circuitry Delivers Vibrant Details. In the long run, it's sure to contribute to the Diminishing of VCR Dominance. And lately, its price has Dropped Very Dramatically. Give up? It's the DVD player, one of the fastest-adopted machines in the history of gizmos. Its acceptance has been so rapid, in fact, that some strange economic weather patterns are emerging. Whereas VCR's took 30 years to fall below $100, DVD players have taken only four years. Today, you can actually buy a full-fledged DVD player for as little as $80. | ||
