1/  Safeguard Scientifics, a major shareholder in IT Capital (14%) recently 
held a conference to highlight their activities. An Article from April 25th 
announced this:

"Safeguard Announces Think Again! Spring Conference Safeguard's Annual
Conference to Highlight Infrastructure Focus and Partner Company Synergies - 
to be held on May 1 - 2, 2000 in New York. Safeguard recently announced its 
new Internet infrastructure focus and will expand on its strategic vision 
for 2000 as a complement to its strong foundation in B2B. In addition, 
Safeguard will feature its collaborative strategy with Internet Capital 
Group. The conference will be available for listeners at www.vcall.com. This 
year's conference, which builds upon the success of the Safeguard's first 
Think Again! Conference held last fall, focuses on the infrastructure market 
and Safeguard's strong partner company synergies. It will feature 
presentations from experts such as best-selling author Donald Tapscott and 
Merrill Lynch Internet Analyst Henry Blodget, as well as highlight several 
of Safeguard's partner companies, including Internet Capital Group, Opus360, 
eMerge Interactive, Redleaf Group, WebTelecom and Wireless OnLine, among 
others. The purpose of the conference is to promote the synergies within the 
Safeguard network and create a forum for Safeguard's partner companies to 
highlight their unique and exciting business models. Over 400 senior-level 
Internet executives and investment analysts from the Internet infrastructure 
and B2B e-commerce arenas are expected to attend..."

There's an Audio recording of the sessions (not sure where/how to get 
written transcript) at 
http://www.vcall.com/NASApp/VCall/Custom.jsp?fileName=thinkagain!0501_0200.htm 
   Just select the IT Capital recording (or any other listed).
Most interesting bit is around minutes 14 to 20!

2/  IT Capital closed on NASDAQ Friday evening up 4c or 30.7% to $US0.17c

3/  A Raging Bull investor (KRABJW) has created his own excellent Website on 
IT Capital material.  Well worth a look at
http://itcapital.homestead.com  Plenty of reading on IT Capital at Raging 
Bull .  NASDAQ code is ICALF

4/  IT Capital is also partly owned by Science Center International, Snider 
Capital and Cross-Atlantic Capital Partners, all well-known venture capital 
coys. IBM and Compaq have recently invested US$50 million in Safeguard 
Scientifics, and have also invested directly into IT Capital. This apart 
from the IT Capital strategic alliance with Ernst and Young (announced 
4/4/00).

I could go on, but I have a few other shares I need to focus on too!
My message is that this company's share price SHOULD be doing a whole lot 
better than it is, or else I/we are very wrong about what makes a good 
Venture Capital company!
I hold plenty of IT Capital and will probably have more on Monday if Fridays 
close = Monday's opening.
