Nice pun. Didn't Sun once make some pizza box style machine which was
nicknamed "Mr Coffee"? As I recall it almost matched SGI in terms of
great colours, but not quite?

I don't think roughing up the pads will do much: they're foam. I've
been meaning to buy a big pack of rubber feet for a while, so when I do
I'll use some of those.

Best wishes,

For what it's worth...

I use a piece of 1/4" plywood that has been well varnished and sanded
smooth. It works beautifully and reduces mouse droppings (on the ball)
to a minimum.

Those foam pads tend to accumulate a lot of junk.
