the CIS vs. a cis (was Re: [Digital BW] Comparison of PiezoTones vs. Epson 2200)

Jerry -

Which cis is this Jerry? It doesn't sound like the CIS from 
NoMoreCarts.com. Is it the "Niagra II" cis, I think it's called, 
which MediaStreet has substituted for the NMC CIS? (I thought 
MediaStreet was sweetening their cis-plus-ink bundle by selling their 
cis already filled with their inks?) Is the replacement cis you hope 
to get on Monday also from MediaStreet and also not pre-filled?

Thanks.

Sam
