Hi Kirk, For what it is worth - I just love this stock. I think it is the real "Crown Jewel" Of HWP. Bob On top of that it was the first and only IPO I wanted and was granted by my full service charge too much broker. It is a winner to me. Bob

One downfall I noted -(allowed use in business settings)-The possible theft of important and trade secret documents and plant operations. This will limit their use in the workplace. The consumer market however will be huge.

Camera phones make CBS Evening News... these are going to be huge... Of course we all knew that would be the case. -g- They already have been huge for well over 2 years in Korea and Japan...in fact Koreans were using camera phones at the 2000 Olympic Games. I'm still not as optimistic about Agilent as you guys are, even though I worked there nearly 30 years. Over half of their business is still in T&M which is not really a growth business any longer. ATE and Semi's are going well but they have to offset the larger sluggish T&M business. The exact words of a well-regarded and recently retired VP friend were: "That place is the Death Zone these days. So sad to see how much the company as gone downhill in the last few years." I still have high X,XXX shares in Agilent so of course I hope you're right!
