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.
