Matt,

>>Why has 3Com still not announced earnings date? 3Com must be working on some big news to release along with earnings, plus the annual shareholders meeting is next Thursday. <<

This could be true as to the holdup in earnings announcement date.

But, almost every earnings announcement date is a problem.
Briefing, as of yesterday, said it was on the close of tuesday.

Barron's in the past has reported it on the wrong date.

Last time, it got to be a real problem because people assumed
that COMS must have bad numbers if it has to wait until the
last minute to let people know the date. It's a pain-in-the-butt,
but this seems to happen all the time, so just a warning
to everybody
.

btw...last time, COMS excuse was that it was an end of fiscal
year report, and since USRX and COMS were on different fiscal
cycles, it made it more difficult to finalize the report --
something to that affect.
