Recently a friend of mine got infatuated with my 48 and so he went and bought
one.  It has worked fine for 4 days.  Last night he was playing with it and it
started screaming.  I don't mean that it freaked out mathimatically.  I mean
that it actually started screaming.  VERY very high pitched whine is heard
continuously when the calculator is on.  Thinking that something was wrong, he
did a reset ON-A-F and it continued to whine.  That is when he showed it to me
and I caompared it to mine and indead my calc does not whine.  I then did a 
push-button reset and it is still whining.  Everything still works ok but the 
noise is a bit of a pain.  He plans to take the calculator back but i would
like to know if this has happened to anyone else with a Rev-D rom.  Any ideas
on what it might be would be informative....   Also since he is returning it
and I have just heard that Rev-E is out my friend would like to see if he could
get Rev-E instead of another D.  My question is, is Educalc actually shipping 
E roms yet?
