I am now ready to purchase a 48SX. The question is, do I buy before October
15 to get the free equation library card, or do I give this up in order to
wait for the Rev. E ROMS to come out? (I have heard that Rev. D ROM'ers
will not get the Rev. E upgrade that Rev. A, B, and C owners will get.)

I probably won't be a power user, so maybe the bugs (?) in Rev. D won't
bother me. (I looked as far back in this newsgroup as I could, and couldn't
see specific mention of Rev. D's problems.)

Also, has HP said when Rev. E will come out?
