just today i was thinking about buying some bigger drives to store lots more
mp3s when travelling.  thanks for the tip.

on the subject of shock reduction, i've had a toshiba 6gb mounted in a eti case
with two strips of the thick type velcro.  the velcro is very secure and since
the drive isn't mounted directly to the case, there's a little shock absorption
there.  i've never had a drive crash with this setup.
