But seriously, my 867mhz 12" has lost 3 of it's little rubber feet and runs hotter than ever due to it sitting directly on the desk. I'm in the UK and we don't (yet) have an Apple Store and Genius to ask for some more. Has anyone replaced the feet with something else, home-made or otherwise?

On my Mercury TiBook I replaced the feet with little stick-on rubber feet that I got at Home Depot. You can get little felt ones too, which I think would be a little better.
