The latest issue of MacUser recommends glueing bbs (!) to your mouse
as a replacement for worn down mouse feet.  I have found the following
to be serviceable.  When one of your credit cards, check cashing cards
or whatever expires, save it.  Two thin strips of the material, glued
just in front of the critter's little worn down feet, make an admirable
substitute for mouse feet, and seem to wear down at a much slower rate.
Depending upon the material that you use, you may have to use a nail
file to file it down, or you may have to use two thicknesses of it.
The configuration that I use is made from an old King Sooper's check
cashing card that became no longer useful when I moved from Colorado
to New Hampshire (Boy, was that ever a mistake!  I can hardly wait to
get done with this Ph.D. deal so I can see blue sky again!)  For
heavy duty or rough service, a long strip of plastic extending almost 
all the way across the front of the bottom of the mouse may be indicated.
