Sergio and brogan, I'm sure you have seen this: VIENNA, Va., March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- SOCRATES TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION (Nasdaq: SOCT - news), a technology solutions company, announced today that the Company intends to announce financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 1999, after the close of markets on Monday, March 13, 2000. Full year 1999 results will be announced on or before March 31, 2000. The Company is not aware of any public corporate announcement or public corporate actions within the past seven days that would impact on trading activity in the Company's common stock during the past three trading days.

Sergio: XRX: is this the announcement you were speaking of: Xerox Expected to Form Printer Alliance With Sharp (Update1) By Rachel Layne Xerox Expected to Form Printer Alliance With Sharp (Update1) (Adds Sharp, Fuji Xerox would not comment, Sharp share price in paragraph 13. Changes dateline to March 10.) Stamford, Connecticut, March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Xerox Corp., the world's largest copier maker, is expected to form a venture with Japan's Sharp Corp. to manufacture, distribute and market ink- jet printers, analysts said. Xerox said it will announce an alliance on Tuesday for a ``multibillion dollar initiative' in the market for small and home office products. The company declined to comment further. A Sharp spokesman refused to comment. Analysts said the alliance is likely with Sharp, Xerox and Fuji Xerox, the company's joint venture with Fuji Photo Film Co. Xerox said the alliance is one of its most important moves since it unveiled network and ink-jet printers in 1997, which put it in competition with No. 1 printer-maker Hewlett-Packard Co. Masaaki Bando, a spokesman for Fuji Xerox, would not comment, though he said Xerox plans to make an announcement on Tuesday in the U.S. Such an alliance would likely provide ``a slew of new ink-jet products, and perhaps a distribution partner or two to boot,' said Alex Henderson, an analyst at Prudential Securities. ``Seems like a good deal to me.' The companies have been preparing such an alliance for more than a year, said Henderson, who rates Xerox a ``hold.' Xerox, based in Stamford, Connecticut, has been expanding its lines of small and home office printers since 1997. Earlier this year, it bought the printing division of Tektronix Inc. to vault it to the No. 2 position in color printers behind Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard. ``This is probably the culmination of some technology Xerox has been developing for a while for high-speed, low cost inkjet,' said PaineWebber analyst Ben Reitzes, who has an ``attractive' rating on Xerox. The next likely alliance to be announced will be with a personal computer company, Reitzes said. I like the very last paragraph too. Rumor is that the "likely allinace" will be with DELL. I told the bride not to sell her DELL on Fri!! She did......sell it.......and bought.......AOL Ken
