Someone must have flunked high-school physics to misunderstand the Clik! spec sheet at iomega.com . Vibration Operating ..... 1.0g P.P 5-17Hz Non-operating ..... 1.3g P.P 5-27Hz Shock Operating ..... 100g, 1/2 sine wave for 3 msec Non-Operating ..... 300g, 1/2 sine wave for 3 msec Vibration is the shaking of an object back and forth. Few human can create a vibration faster than 5 cycles (left to right 5 times) per second with their bare hands. A paint-mixing machine can do this, but it would be stupid unless someone is conducting product tests. Shock is different than vibration. Shock is the sudden stop of an object, such as dropping it onto the ground. The Clik! spec lists the shock tolerance at 100 G. This means that dropping a digital camera will shatter its glass lense before breaking the Clik! drive. If the person who brought up this subject understand the difference between vibration and shock, then his message must be an attempt to mislead the public. Whether he flunked physics in the past or lacks integrity now, the conclusion is the same: you can't believe anything he says. Yikes
