Hello John and other List Members:

    Thank you for encouraging me not to toss my unit or live without Rockbox. I really like the system and the listserve. I'm just really wondering if my motorcycling stresses out a hard drive too much. I understand that your scooter is bumpy and that it has not caused problems with your Archos. For me, it's not so much the bumps as it is the buffeting of the wind. When I get up to 80 MPH on the Interstate, my Archos always skips. The music will cut out in mid-song and the unit will be silent for sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes even longer. Then it will reappear.

    It was much worse before Rockbox. With Rockbox, I cranked up the anti-skip to maximum and it was much better, but still a consistent problem. Slow speed rides were fine.

    Does any of this additional information change your opinions? I thank you for your time and advice.

Nick Brodich
