PC Group VP: "IBM's 4Q98 PC business up 48%" , promoting services

Not in conflict with LVG's "PC not in our future" , but clarifies IBM's PC marketing as a device for larger sales :

" IBM will continue to provide our customers with the highest-quality
and most technologically advanced products this industry has to offer.

We will continue to bring manageability and security features to our PC lineup, adding to IBM's industry-leading role as the best vendor on total cost of ownership issues. "

" Even in those circumstances, our sales to end users
accelerated every quarter, growing 43% in the
fourth quarter of 1998.


In addition, our sales of personal computers enabled IBM to generate revenue and profit in the associated businesses of services, storage, displays, software, microelectronics and financing. "

Maybe the PC baits IBM's multi-faceted product/services "hook" ?
