I have recently been told that since late Summer (in the Northern
Hemisphere ;-) ), the HP48SX is made with the reset button under the
right-hand upper right foot, not the left-hand one. Only one mention of
this possibility has reached me so far via comp.sys.handhelds, and that
was merely a suggestion, so I wonder if anyone has noticed this change
and can confirm it. 
It would be very useful to know if this is true - otherwise newcomers to
comp.sys.handhelds will continue to to use the advice that they can
reset their HP48SX by turning it over on its back, removing the upper
left foot, and poking a pin into that hole. They will then be sorely
disappointed to find this does not work. A possible solution is to tell
them to try both right and left sides.
If you ARE a newcomer - this operation resets the HP48SX, clearing the
stack, and letting you regain control of it from the keyboard in cases
where you cannot regain control from the keyboard itself, but do not
want to perform a full-blown memory reset.
Usual disclaimers apply.
