	Yes, I have heard rumors that there will be an update to the HP28s and 
that it might be a mix between the 41's and 28s (i.e. program packs).  In fact,
the Associated Student Bookstore up here at Chico State has discontinued 
ordering the 41's in anticipation of the new calculator.  Other than that, I 
have no other information, only the the insiders know and, so far, they're 
keeping their mouths shut (thereby DRIVING ME MAD WITH ANTICIPATION!!!!). I
would say wait for it, see what it has, if you like it, buy it, and forget the
HP28s.

P.S. If anybody has any other updates for the new calculator, please feel
	free to tell us; especially if your an HP executive.
