On the corners of the underside of the powerbook, two of my little rubber pieces are missing.

Is there any place where I can buy replacements?

thanks

If they are the powerbook G3 feet. You can usually find somebody selling them on EBay. Usually a couple of bucks. Make sure you use superglue to put them on. I had this problem with my Pismo. Glued the new ones on and never had a problem again. Hope this helps.

Having the same issue here. Do you think the folks at Apple Store will have these rubber feet to give away?

Apple sends them out for free, actually, as long as you're within warranty.

I recommend using Apple and not eBay -- especially since they're free through Apple.

And you can always pick them up from an Apple Store for free. Just be polite and ask the genius and they'll normally just hand you a couple.

Don't even mess with Ebay for something as small as that...

Yup. I picked one up when one that I had broke (the foot actually broke, one of the sides had bent so it wouldn't stay in). I also saw a guy get a bag full of four of them when I was in for another issue. Just walk in and show them, ask if there's anything they can do. They should just hand you one (or however many you need)...
