With regard to concerns about CMT RAM cards, apparently EduCalc has 
communicated with CMT and the policies on the RAM cards are changing. There
was originally a 90-day warranty on the cards, and apparently they have 
decided to match HP's one-year warranty. In addition, it turns out that
the HP48 inded *can* detect a low battery in the CMT card, however it
will not detect a card with the battery MISSING altogether. This is not
usually a problem, I would think. The battery drain in the CMT card is 
more than two orders of magnitude lower than the HP card with the HP48 turned
on, and they're expecting battery life to be atleast two years, and 
probably a lot more.  Thanks to the folks at EduCalc for communicating
their concerns (and in turn eventually ours) to CMT so these problems
could be resolved quickly.
