IBM to triple personal computer shipments in 'B4

c. 1984 N.Y. Times News Service NEW YORK The International Business Machines Corp. said Thursday that shipments of its Personal Computer line this year would be triple the number produced in 1983. The company also said it planned to spend SSOO million in 1984 to expand its production capacity and conduct further research and development on small computers. The statements, at an meeting for analysts held in Boca Raton, Fla., appeared to confirm industry estimates that shipments of the PC, the PCjr home computer and more advanced desktop models would total more than two million units this year. The size of the company’s investment, analysts said, was further evidence that other manufacturers will have a difficult time mustering resources to compete with the computer giant in the desktop market. IBM also said that, like the Tandy Corp. and Apple Computer Inc., it was now offering a credit card for direct purchases of its equipment. Donald Estridge, president of IBM’s entry systems division, which manufactures the Personal Computer line, said the company was now able to produce one machine every 15 seconds during the workday. By the end of the year, he said, the company planned to more than double that pace. IBM officials saild they continued to run behind demand on the PC and the PC-XT, but they said that supplies of the new PCjr home computer were in balance with demand, the first indication that it may not be

selling as quickly as IBM’s previous models did. But IBM’s president, John F. Akers, warned analysts against what he called “PC myopia.” “The PC is still a relatively small but fast-growing part of IBM,” he said, adding that he expected the company’s traditional large processors, storage devices and work stations “to carry their fair share of IBM’s growth.” Profit margins this year, Akers said, would be “consistent” with the 22.9 percent margin in 1983. Part of the company’s effort to expand margins, he said, was renewed attention to quality control. After a recent study of the cost of repairs on IBM equipment, “we were surprised and disturbed at what we saw, ’ ’ he said. IBM officials at the session reconfirmed that the company was spending large sums to develop a “local area network” that would link a number of independent desktop computers in a network. But they stopped short of saying when the network would be introduced, despite widespread speculation that it would be available this year. Estridge deflected questions about a future desktop computer using the fast but scarce Intel 80286 microprocessor. A sophisticated version of the PC, expected sometime this year, is believed to be based on this chip. But, Estridge noted, “it wouldn’t make sense to build a new product based on parts you can’t get.” Some analysts believe IBM may be preparing to make the microprocessor itself, under license from the Intel Corp.

1,080-vote Brazil winner 'Happy' Pickett back at work

BRAZIL, Ind. (AP) - Democrat Norval Pickett Jr. was back in the mayor’s office after winning a special election for mayor of Brazil. Pickett was sworn in early Wednesday, a few hours after he defeated the Republican incumbent, David G. Hunter, in a court-ordered special election. “I’m happy to be here,” the 54-year-old Democrat said. He said his desire is to “make the city go forward” and termed his 1,080-vote victory a mandate.

St. Jude Hospital is non-sectarian, nondiscriminatory, and provides medical care to more than 4,200 patients. AT ST. JUDE, scientist and physicians are working side by side seeking not only a better means of treatment, but also the cause, cures and prevention of these terrible killers. All findings and information gained at the hospital are shared freely with doctors and hospitals all over the world. Thanks to St. Jude’s, children who have leukemia, Hodgkin’s desease, sickle cell anemia, and other child killing diseases now have a better chance to live. The bike-a-thon program is dedicated to ‘Terry,” who was diagnosed with leukemia in March 1978, and began treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Today, she is well and off all medication and is a living example of the progress and success of the reseach.
