Actually not even all the way home yet, but online briefly in DEN in time to see HP's (NYSE HPQ) First Quarter earnings announcement cross the wire. In anticipation of a good report, the stock closed above $43 -- only the third time (following twice in January 2007) since 2000.
I'll be in the air during the live webcast but plan to post further analysis in the morning.
I'm especially interested to see how their printing and imaging numbers look, of course! Here's the summary from today's release:

Imaging and Printing Group (IPG) revenue grew 7% year-over-year to $7.0 billion. On a year-over-year basis, supplies revenue grew 11%, commercial hardware revenue grew 2% and consumer hardware revenue was flat.
