Zead, Yeah, I'm pretty sure that HP and ORFR have some kind of partnership in the measurement area. HP investors should have seen it coming by looking at the lower earnings from ORFR over the last couple of quarters. See ya, Grant

Zead, I read your post on Yahoo and want to commend you on your foresight for the movement of ORFR down to new lows. I read the recent Hewlett Packard news release about poor test and measurement sales and their subsequent closing of this business line. This news definitely raises question marks for ORFR's near and medium-term potential. Are the Odds on ORFR releasing an earnings warning in the next couple of weeks? Were HP and ORFR's test and measurement business lines very related? Did HP have more exposure to Asia in this business line? I'd like to get answers to these questions from anyone knowledgable to make a better decision with my current position. Thanks in advance to all, Grant
