Hi George,

<<medical and chemical instruments are on the verge of a whole new era of nanotechnology>>

A (and HWP) have always had new and exciting technology, but is there any profitable application? I can't think of any exciting profitable application of technology out of the A side of HWP in years. I remember mention of white LEDs to replace incandescent bulbs years ago, but haven't heard anything since. Maybe nanotechnology is it. Your thoughts?

<<HP has sent their storage area network biz including FC chips and HBAs to Agilent>>

I'm not familiar with FC chips and HBAs. Can you expand on this? Does A have the patent? Is this a barrier to entry for any competitors?

On CNBC this morning. Lehman analyst has an upward revision on price estimate to $90/share (from 67). The commentators pointed out there were no fundamental changes in earnings estimates.

In a somewhat related matter, when do you have to be on record with HP shares to get A shares? What is the latest date? Has this been posted anywhere?
