I too agree.  It is all the more frustrating because I bought my hp48 a
little over a month ago.  It is too late to retrun it and get a vers D rom
and I am quite broke now anyway after having to replace my stolem bicycle 
before school starts.  I was really thinking that I would like the equation
card for school an now that I can't afford it, hp is giving them away.  
This does seem a bit screwy to me.  I have great respect for the quality of
hp products even with a few flaws, But my respect for their marketing 
strategy is wanning.  Like a few other people here, I feel jipped.
