[comp.sys.handhelds] Sweaty 48s

I have a surveyor friend interested in the 48SX.
I won't loan him mine!  I heard that they are not
reliable after sitting in the sun for only a few
minutes.  Any truth to this?

I can tell you about my HP28S:
I left it somtimes in the car, one time it even ran (it processed a
large interpolation). On this day, the sun shone (shine/shone/shunt ??) really
hot, in the car it was about 65.C hot. It didn't harm to my 28, even the 
processed solution was o.k.
