I purchased a 360C a couple months ago which comes stanard with the TPII
caps. I had been following this group for awhile, so I knew the difference,
so I ordered a few up here in Canada. The total came to $22 CDN (about $16
US). I have to say that it was the best purchase I have made after the
machine itself. They may be expensive, but if you are like me and tend to
use the machine for hours at a time they are definitely worth paying IBM the
high cost for them. When I ordered them they said there was a two week back
order, but they were shipped priority overnight and arrived two days later.

All I want is the chance to prove that money can't buy happiness.
