Default Some have been up Everest with no problems, and some have died. It's hit or miss.

fwiw, I first read about it in Outside mag.

Default i guess if i have problems in the mtns it will be due to altitude.

will it return to normal operation after returning to denver? or is it permanant damage if something happens?

Default Re: That's a freaking bummer. There should be a warning label.

Planes are pressurized to between 6 and 8 thousand feet depending on the newness of the aircraft. At least thats what my pilot buddy says.

Nano's are solid state, so they wouldn't have the problem with the drives.

Default From what I've read, that is also hit or miss. It's just luck of the draw.

You could probably google "Ipod +altitude" and find out more info than I could provide.

Default de - are you sure microdrives are sealed?

Most drives aren't, though I know that some new HD development involves sealed drives.

More likely the heads are crashing because of the thin air (==> low fly height ==> skipping off bumps on the disk).

Not fly apart - crash. See above.
