Well bummer.. ;)  Actually Rev F should be interesting.. Not quite the same
machine from what I hear.. ;)  

I just want to clear up something.  After posting my little story, someone
informed me that it is indeed documented.  Unfortunately, I had only memorized
the manuals up to page 643 so I missed the mention of this "feature" on 
page 644.  It clearly states that you will lose your memory if you pull the
card with merged RAM, UNLESS it happens to give this message in which case
you should put the card back in with the calc still on and press ON to 
"minimize memory loss".  Live and learn.
