Good call on the breakout, Dan. It's nice to see hwp at 65. It's been a core holding for me for several years, but I am beginning to get concerned about their future.

HP seems to be abandoning their core competency, being characterized as the "world's best manufacturing company", in favor of outsourcing. I understand they are laying off a very large percentage of their Vancouver printer operation in favor of using turnkeys. This is a major paradigm shift, and IMHO may have a big impact on their product reliability and profit margins. I'd appreciate any comments.

Dan, We were out of the 61-63 channel for a little while, but intc has put us back in our place. I wonder why inventory reduction is viewed as weakness for the box makers? I don't have much hope of new highs until the next earnings report.
