   Buy the rubber feet a sports car & hairpiece and have them get a younger
girlfriend?
   I usually cut a small cirle of plastic wrap (eg., saran wrap, cling tite,
whatever) and let the feet turn to mush while pressed against this little
coaster. Unless the feet are so large that their deformation is going to make
a tall tower of cases topple over, then just contain it and move on.
   As Mr. McGuire points out, there's not much you can do about entropy, man.
