what do you guys make of this PR if anything?
i guess it is good that Cery anticipates a promising 2006, but what happened to the old IR firm i thought they were with?

S&S Public Relations... Never got an answer when I tried to contact them. Got answers when I asked my questions at Newport or Sparebackup. The last PR coming through S&S was back in October. Since then, the PRs stated only "Source: Newport International Group".

we used to have 4:01 news. Today we have a 4:02 News... sounds good at first glance...
PALM DESERT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2006--Newport International Group (OTCBB:NWPO - News) announced today that its Spare Backup Inc. subsidiary and Systemax (NYSE:SYX - News) have reached an agreement to incorporate the Spare Backup Solution in shipments of Systemax PCs ordered through Systemax's various distribution channels. Under the terms of the agreement, the Spare Backup Solution will be embedded as an offering icon which will open upon the initial customer start up of the new PC. Each Systemax PC customer will receive a 60-day free trial of Spare Backup which will be supported through Spare's datacenters in Dallas and Chicago. Spare Backup and Systemax will share monthly subscriptions revenue at the end of the trial period. ADVERTISEMENT
Commenting on this agreement, Cery Perle, CEO of Newport International Group Inc., stated: "Having our service embedded on new PCs is an important step forward for our product delivery capabilities at Spare Backup. We are pleased that Systemax has elected to begin what we believe will be a long-standing and mutually beneficial relationship with our company. We will place great emphasis on providing their valuable customers with a world-class data backup solution and all that they have come to expect from a Systemax PC."

Sounds good that they are hitting the OEM side of the industry. I have a feeling we may see more PR's to follow, since they just got the new IR firm...hopefully involving bigger manufacturers.

I just noticed that Systemax is not a new partner. They own tigerdirect . com and there was already a partnership in place to sell Spare Backup through tigerdirect. I take it as a good sign.
We're about a couple of weeks away from the annual report, which will show sales of 4Q.

The 4th Quarter report is due before the end of this month.
I would expect to see some revenue from their software. But remember, it may not be alot as they just released it in Sept. The marketing is going to take some time and the bundling just started.

yeah definitely... when cycle kitty spoke to cery perle (ceo), cery said that he 'puts his mouth where his money is' and i believe he claimed to purchasing 2.5 million shares on the open market recently.
should be worth the wait!
