If I'm not mistaken, a letter reproduced in the latest issue of the 
British DATAFILE (publication of the HPCC group out of London) from Hewlett
Packard indicated that Rev A, B and C owners aren't going to get rev E
machines at trade in. They will get rev D units, but the exchange will
not take place until after the first of the year, and after some E units
are presumably already on the street. So, I'd say it's a tossup right now.
