So my wait seems to be over.  The Rev E is apparently here.  But, what changes
have been made ?  Are there any known outstanding bugs with the Rev E ?  Have
there been any improvements in speed ?  Can anyone at HP enlighten us.   
Is there any plans for other improvements in the works ?

One other thing.  If it is true that the Rev E is here, it will be the second
time I have heard grossly overestimated time to market of the revisions.  I
called HP in June when I bought (I returned it in 2 days) a Rev A HP48SX.  I
asked them when the Rev D and Rev E versions would be available.  They told me
that Rev D wouldn't be available for several months and Rev E would be many 
months after that.  I have read on the Net that the Rev D was available later
that same month.  In the middle of August I got an unofficial estimate from
someone in HP that it would be SEVERAL months for Rev E.  I almost went out
and bought a Rev D.  Does HP pad their schedules or WHAT ?!

Is EDUCALC/ELEK-TEK shipping Rev E or do they still have Rev D to get rid of ?

I forget who posted the list of products in the works for the HP48SX and 
available at EDUCALC.  Could you post an update ?
