trackpoint covers. I think this site was provided by IBM canada. Let
me know if you guys can find it."

The pointer to Compulock also appears (now) at IBM's US website. $16 for 4 caps plus shipping is
genuinely outrageous. The same area of IBM's website last year said to buy them from
the IBM Boulder parts center; at the time I bought 6 for $10 *including* shipping to Hawaii.

So, guys and gals, what do you think: if we circulate a petition, asking IBM to make
these caps available again for a reasonable price, and many or all on this list sign it,
do you think we could get them to change this policy? Is it worth a shot?
