    So a couple of mine have fallen off. Is there a place to buy the little rounded rubber feet on the bottom of a Z?

    Oh, Conics is probably the company you're talking about. They seem to be selling the rubber feet for the VGN-Z series though:

    According to the VPCZ1 manuals it's part # 339831711. The part is $8.74 here, i'm not sure if that's 1 or... all 7 feet (also, are the seven feet all the same? the middle ones look larger than the ones on the edge... or maybe they're just sunken in):

    https://www.servicesplus.sel.sony.com/sony-part-number-339831711.aspx

    That's the part # 550 in the image below and if you lost the feet by the battery, it's part # 551 (get the manual at the sticky on top of this forum and open the embedded parts spreadsheet on page 10 and find the part, remember to remove hyphens).

    sparepartswarehouse also has them, but for $15 + some change (ctrl+f & search item number on link below):

    Yeah Conics is the place I'm talking about. I guess they only have the VGN, maybe they had the VPC at one point, but I may be remembering incorrectly.

    @kevin, thanks!
