Re: Pismo Rubber feet.
When I suggested a glue gun I was not trying to be facetious. Glue guns are amazing things and you do not need a rubber foot underneath them. As Phil suggested, the glue itself is the foot. You can shape it any way you want--but I suggest not using your fingers to shape the glue unless you are competing for the Gordon Liddy hall of fame. Can you get black glue? Yes you can. In fact there are gazillions of glues that go into a glue gun--at different temperatures and for different materials and with different textures. Here is a site with inexpensive stuff and black glue. http://www.hotstik.com/ If you need a gun, get their inexpensive 2-temperature gun--the hotter the glue the better it sticks (but the harder it is to work with. Believe it or not, the dent-pulling glue really works and is used by professionals (like my wife). It is also vastly superior to caulking in the bath. WARNING: Fixing things with glue guns can become an obsession. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

You can certainly push a nice glop of glue out onto any surface the glue used maintains a high degree of viscosity yet harders to a nice rubbery feel. It's a great solution and one I plan on testing.

Re: Pismo rubber feet
I prefer the little furniture feet solution, available at local building supply stores, discount centers, etc.. Worked/works for me.

Re: Pismo rubber feet
Yes, hie thee down to your local WalMart or Dollar General and tell them you want the little round stickum pads they put under furniture. They are called Grippers and they are made by FloorKing. They will have them in black or white and in packages of 6 or 8 or 12. The sizes will vary from a diameter larger than a dime to about the diameter of a silver dollar. I am using two 1/2 inch pads at each corner of my Pismo. The height keeps my Pismo nice and cool and for the past few years has avoided all irritation and discomfort in my wrists and hands. I think there is some ergonomic value in having the Pismo at the right height for you, so for $2.95 a package, you can experiment. The pads last about 2 years for me, so you might want to let your local Mac group know you have them. d Hi. Please share with me what is the racket going on with replacing the powerbook rubber feet for a Pismo? I've visited at least three websites where they are trying to sell replacement stick-on rubber feet for close to $20. The lowest price at one site wanted $10 for the strip of four black stick-on rubber feet but then their shipping and handling was $10. This is insane since the weight isn't even listed because it does not register on most postal scales. Yup, you guessed it a first class no. 10 envelope for thirty seven cents and away they go. So as a temporary measure I went to Home Depot and purchased clear stick-on cabinet door bumpers 3/8 package of twenty for $2. The thickness is greater but I'm testing the first one to see if it stays on. Does anyone else have a suggestion for a reasonably priced source of black powerbook feet?
