Unfortunately I lost one of my PB�s rubber feet. Apple charges over 10 Bucks for it. Be reasonable. Unless they were handmade by Apple-Executives this is absolutely ridiculous.
I rather drop a bit of glue on the one missing side and wait for it to harden.

I think if you went to the nearest Apple Store you'd have better luck. By the way how are the feet installed on the Powerbook?

Nearest Apple Store would be east Cost USA. That is about 400 $ for a roundtrip (I live in Germany). Seems like I am screwed...

That sucks. I was not charged a dime when I lost two of mine on my old PB 15" DVI model. And they even mailed them to me.

I actually see this as good news. When the aluminum models first came out people were being told, by Apple mind you, that it would cost more than $300! At least they're more reasonable than that now.

you can actually buy better quality ones at your local hardware store...(Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Lowes, etc...)
they work just the same and maybe in some cases are even better as they are larger, and in most cases you get more than 4 per pack...
check it out, you will be surprised at the relative selection...
ask the guy for "adhesive rubber feet", and they are sometimes used to reduce the 'banging' of cupboards and drawers when they are shut...

How did you think Apple could afford to give Steve that private jet?
I agree..it is insulting.. but the lowes/home depot option above this post sounded like a winner.
