Message-ID: <27a47c3d:1765.6comp.sys.handhelds;1@hpcvbbs.UUCP> Date: 28 Jan 91 19:40:07 GMT References: <9957@orca.wv.tek.com> Lines: 20 Tyrone, I'm surprised that Maryjo Hornberger told you that the deal was not extended to version D roms. I called the Technical Support line in November and was told that my calculator (a version D) did qualify for an upgrade. I got a letter from HP dated November 9th confirming this just a few days later. I sent my rev D in in mid December and got my new rev E this past Wednesday. I believe that the D to E upgrade is a different upgrade than for a A or B or C to E upgrade. Call the Tech Support line for more info. To Bill Gribble: Errata sheet? What errata sheet? My calculator did not come with any errata sheet. If I had not signed on to the HPBBS I would never have known about the upgrade program. Anyway, this is not a matter of getting the new features available in the new model year for free. This is a matter of making sure that what you get works as advertised. Even the car companies have so-called hidden warranties where they will fix a problem for free if the problem is due to a manufacturering problem as opposed to normal wear and tear (even if the vehicle's warranty is technically up). I'd say that the rom upgrades fall into this category. Dan.
