I had lost 2-3 of my rubber feet. This past summer I had to send my
Powerbook in to Apple for a logic board replacement, and when it came
back it had new feet.
But I don't even like the rubber feet. I have my Pb on a piece of
cardboard, which makes it easier to slide around on my des
ittle rubber feet, I guess, though then you may want to
change them all out as to stay uniform..

Simply keeping the bottom of the book from having direct contact with

Anytime I've had that happen to equipment, I get some replacements at
Radio Shack--usually a bit bigger, but they stay on better--I either
replace or put side-to-side the remaining ones at the same time. I'm
less concerned with the cosmetics othe bottom of equipment than the
top. :)

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
As reported previously, I've used round, hemispherical clear
feet/bumperws from the hardware store for some time and prefer them
over the original black feet. (They should look better than a glop of
hot glue.) Nonetheless, give it a try. For those that insist on a
black foot, is hot

Try a framing shop. The frame/wall bumpers I use for my photography my
are just about perfect. I think my cost is about $0.06 per bump
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.

Clear plastic self stick feet are great replacements for the original

makes them. Available at hardware stores. Bouncy like rubber and they

A tiny drop of clear nail polish on the screw head will keep it from coming
out, but will allow you to take it out if you wish. I use the Traveler
CoolPad and have never had a problem with either of my Pismo's rubber feet
coming off and the pad keeps the PowerBook cool.
