My Pismo running OS X (10.4.7) started to act up while on our boat. First the USB mouse froze, then the BU-353 GPS stop receiving signals and finally GPXNavX froze. I thought this was a USB fault, power issue or maybe a corrupt program. Took Pismo into get checked and the tech thinks it's the harddrive. Sure I know harddrives fail, but know I'm thinking could it have been damaged during a rough run in the boat. I checked on the internet about shock proof hard drives, some are available, however has anyone done something to their iBook/Powerbook to help shock proof their unit? When my Pismo is working again I'd like to help prevent this from happening again, as best as possible. Any thoughts?

Thanks all.
