Jean-Claude Malraison, director of personal systems for IBM France SA said at Paris’s PC Forum that IBM sold 200,000 personal computers in France last year, an increase of 15% over 1991, the daily Les Echos reports: Malraison estimates that IBM made a profit on the business, having repositioned its offerings and adapted its distribution network to current market realities, but he would not specify how much; a new series with an entry price of under $1,000 is on the way he said.
