At least it seems some of you got a sheet of bugs with the rom when you
bought your 48sx s.  I know I didn't, that's for sure.  I also missed
out on the free equation library card deal by a month.  Maybe I
wouldn't have minded as much, if I knew what I was getting or HP had
sweetened the deal for me.  I think HP calculators are great, don't get
me wrong.  I've bought the 41c and 28s, and I like my new calculator
even more.  But with all the phoning I've done to HP to find out what's
wrong with the version D rom, I'm starting to get annoyed.  I'm tired
of hearing from HP in Canada telling me there is no difference between
the version D and E rom.  Someone slipped in the sales department and
said there was a problem with the 48sx ver. D, and told me to call their 
parts/service department.  After that, it was the same old routine.

How's about someone from HP telling me before I write an exam and find
out for myself?  I'm not bashing HP, just the guys who answer the
phones and tells me nothing's the matter.  Anyone who reads this
newsgroup knows it's not the case.  Anyone?
