Re: Trackpoint caps
Nathan,
The price of development, product quality, and materials aside, do you
think you could even break even on marketing, packaging,shipping, support
and labor. I think many folks who spent $$$$K on a laptop wont blink twice
to periodically spend $ for some consumable items that are of known
quality. I'd be leary of Cat's tounge bits flaking into my keyboard. Ya
might even get sued if it damaged the keyboard and/or voided the warrantee.

Subject: Trackpoint caps
Anyone know of a good source or two for TrackPoint caps? My 700C has a
trackpoint II, but the peg inside looks like the III's. I'm suffering a
blow-out on mine, and before I'd pay IBM $7.20 for one, I would make a mold
and poor my own. (For that matter, is there a market?)
Regards,
Nathan Jones
