I used to think that computer rubber parts had more

really had much of a problem with bad rubber on my tape equipment but I
have received a few old NEC Versa laptops where their rubber pads on the
bottom had literally turned to snot I had to clean out with q-tips.
I've unpacked NOS QIC drives still sealed in anti-static bags with the
