after running the gateway-48 program, my 48 has apparently expired.
  When the program prompted me for a code, I entered one and the machine 
  locked.  All attempts to revive it were futile.

After removing the batteries and keeping them out for several minutes, 
  I put them back in and the LCD was black with a vertical white stripe
  about 3 pixels wide and the hourglass annunciator on.  I took the batteries
  back out after 10 sec or so.

If you know what's going on or might have any advice please send mail.  
  I will flame unmercifully anyone who sends a message with the words
  or sentiment 'bummer dude, I'm glad it wasn't me.' 

If it matters: version E, 3046axxxxx, cmt 128k installed. (out now.)

Bill
