RE: Centrino Launch. I heard Intel CEO Barrett on NBR last night mention all the big PC names except one, HPQ. Dell had a full page ad in the SJ Mercury for a Centrino notebook... Since they contract out these things and slap on labels, why not participate for a small amount? Trying to squeeze Intel vs AMD? Seems a silly reason given all the free advertising they would get if Intel could say the two largest PC makers were using its parts. BWTFDIK? All I know is HPQ and PFE are the only red on my screen today. Kirk

HP says early second-quarter revenues up 3 pct PALO ALTO, Calif., March 13 (Reuters) - Computer and printer maker Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ) on Thursday said that fiscal second-quarter revenues were up 3 percent in the first month of the period and stressed that an accounting revision disclosed Wednesday had left its cash position "strong and unchanged." In a statement issued by HP Chief Financial Officer Bob Wayman, the company said it was responding to "market confusion" over its quarterly filing with securities regulators a day earlier. HP shares were down almost 6 percent on Thursday after the company disclosed that it had lowered its reported cash flow from operations by 18 percent from $791 million to $647 million. "We are reviewing our procedures for preparing preliminary statements," Wayman said. "The important takeaway for investors from both our earnings call and yesterday's 10-Q filing is that our gross cash position is strong and unchanged." Wayman added: "One month into the company's second fiscal quarter, revenue for the combined company is up 3 percent year over year." HP's quarter began on Feb. 1.
