[comp.sys.handhelds] Bad news for owners of Rev A, B, or C HP48SX'es

	Greetings. I called HP Thursday because I though I have a Rev A
	calculator - turns out I have a rev E (whew ;-) But, they tech
	clearly stated that today, Friday, is the last "official" day to
	call HP and get on their list to get a calculator swap.

	He told me something interesting, though. He said that for a few
	days _after_ the official deadline, his manager would still
	accept a "few" people on a personal basis (if you _really_
	need a swap, that is)

	Here's how to find out what rev you have:

	1) Turn on the 48 by pressing ON (duhh :-)
	2) Press-hold-release ON-D
	3) Press the <- {DROP/CLR} key (should get a bunch of numbers on line 1)
	4) Press-AND-HOLD the EVAL key (3rd from the top, below letter C)

	This should display a message stating what rev you have.
	
	If you have A, B, or C get on the darn phone QUICK!!!!

	Take care.
