It's been pretty quiet around the blogger lately. Terri is in Germany right now just in the middle of a two-week trip to visit with her counterparts at Agilent. We've been keeping in touch by phone and with Yahoo Messenger. She's feeling just a little homesick. I've been keeping busy by working all day long, although it seems more like tinkering . I started a new web page in November and it is keeping me really, really busy. Last September I told you about a new product that we introduced called the HP DVD Movie Writer dc3000. It's a device to help you convert your home movies to DVD's as well as let you get creative with video editing on the PC. I'm learning a lot and helping people to work their way through the normal starup issues associated with a product that is in a new category. But it's been fun and certainly better than the alternative of not having enough to do.

I hope all are well and I can see from the logs that we get a lot of you checking in each day. I know that the blogger isn't working as well as it used to, and that it may take a few tries to get a message to post, but be persistent if it doesn't 'take' the first time and it will eventually post your entry.
