Greetings!

  I discovered this group just in time to hear of the 48sx.  Suffice it to say
that I'm working my way through the manuals.... :-)  (anybody wanna bu a 28s?)

  At any rate, with the documentation that came with the machine, there is a
sheet which announces the existance of a bulletin board which is free except
for the long-distance phone charges to Corvallis, OR (read my address...).  If
anybody from HP is listening:

  1)  THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME MACHINE!!!

  2)  Would it be possible to set up an ftp site from which HP-supported
software, or whatever will be on that bulletin board, can be gotten?  My prime
suggestion would be the HP28s -> 48sx transfer software, whatever it is.  It
would be a real shame to have to pay for such a utility (although I'll be
buying the HP -> Mac interface anyway, others might not).  Also, what is on the
board (I'm not about to call long-distance, unless there's nobody closer who
wants to say)?

  3)  What's the current ROM revision?  Is it D, or is there a higher one with
no known bugs?  

Cheers,
--Mike
