Hi all! I have no experience what so ever with hard disk recorders in
the field, but lots of us have experience with harddisk based MP3
players. Bang them and they skip, stop and restart. Need more
evidence? I'm sure it depends on the recorder, but in my mind its
possible. Environmental damage? I doubt it, as the harddisk runs in a
vacuum.No one would dare treat a $2000.00 recorder like their $100.00
Mp3 player though...and jogging with a Tascam would bruise you! :-)
