IBM UK has increased prices 3% on all hardware apart from 3090 series equipment, the new deep discount price to dealers who take enough of the things on the PS/2 Model 30, and typewriters, effective today – but it’s not likely that too many people will end up paying the new prices because the market is so competitive these days that users can usually twist the arm of their friendly neighbourhood IBM salesman to get a deal – although resellers may not be so lucky: IBM puts the increases down to increases in the cost of doing business; software tags are not affected this time.
