You'd think somewhere out there someone would LOVE a Revision A HP-48 for, say, $150 with a 30-day warranty. I know a couple of people who would gladly jump at that offer. And to think they're being thrown away?!?! That means a Rev A 48 for $0! I'm surprised EduCalc or someone hasn't talked to HP about some kind of deal. Geez... you'd think they'd at least give them to their employees as paper weights or something... 8-) -- Eddy J.
