I'm wanting to purchase a cooling stand, one with fans, to place under my MacBook Pro when I'm "on the road". i'm interested in the positive and negative experiences people have had with any of the various stands available.

I place my Pismo, which generates a fair amount of heat, on an inverted wire "in" basket from an office supply store. The metal acts as a heat sink; there's plenty of air flow; and the price is right.
This does make typing a bit awkward, but I usually use an external keyboard and mouse.

Check out the Enermax CP001-B Aeolus. That should do the trick. Its got a 25cm fan!

Just raising the back of my MacBook by about half an inch made a nice difference by allowing the hot air a way to convect out from under the thing. You can get all sorts and sizes of clear, white, or black stick-on "feet" at your local hardware store.
I got a couple of those feet and a couple of flexible clear plastic suction cups, and attached them together back-to-back. Stick 'em on when needed, pop 'em off for travel. another nice benefit is that it puts the keyboard at a better angle.
Earlier Mac laptops had little feet built in; I wonder why they stopped?

Do Mac notebooks use heatpads to conduct heat to the bottom of the case like in the Mini?

They fall out fairly easily... If you're near an Apple store, they will (or at least used to) replace them for free. I now have stick-on rubber feet on mine, and have yet to lose one.

I'm talking about *really* old ones -- PowerBooks. Some of those had rotating feet on the rear corners.

I'm trying the Micro Innovations cooling pad which I found at Fry's for $15. I figured that for that price I could take a gamble.
The Micro Innovations pad has two USB powered fans and collapses to a size small enough to easilly fit in my carrying case. In a test I was able to have the fans on and got about two and a half hours up time when having my MacBook Pro battery powered.
I frequently take my MacBook Pro to a favorite pub, enjoying a pleasant draft while working on a project. If anything the Micro Innovations stand raises the computer so that it is protected from an accidental beer spill! :-)

Yep, the swivel feet/legs at the back of my 13 year old PowerBook Duo are still strongly attached! Rather amusingly someone at work saw my Duo the other day and made a "wow" comment ... she thought it was a cute new compact gadget notebook ... shocked to discover that Apple was making these things so long ago!
