Published: Friday 26 June 1998

IBM has announced it will bundle AOL's client software with its Aptiva line of PCs and Thinkpad notebook computers. The move is intended to make it easier for users to sign up to AOL's online and Internet access services. AOL will pay the computer company a fee for each new customer gained through the deal. IBM said it hopes the association with AOL will boost PC sales.
