Yes, it is certainly possible that Boulder still sells them for a reasonable price, but
that for some reason IBM no longer points there at their web site - perhaps the web site
maintainer's brother-in-law works for Compulock:-)

Like Juan-Carlos, I bought many to spare when I last bought mine, but I have been using them a bit longer than I normally would
because of the change. I would love to know if the Boulder site is still selling them.

BTW, Winbook sells trackpoint covers for $3.99/3; I understand these can be used on ThinkPad's,
though I believe they lack the wonderful cat-tongue surface of the IBM covers.
