I can't see it being a problem. I ride the 72 myself sometimes and
there's nothing on that route (or any Transperth route for that matter)
that I can think of that would injure an active hard drive. The hard
drives in laptops tend to reasonably robust, even when active. If it was
a four-wheel drive bus heading over the sand dunes then perhaps you'd
need to worry. But even then it would be more a worry about losing your
grip on the laptop, than the hard drive being damaged while resting on
your lap.
Anyone have experience with using laptops on the buses?

Hi,
I'm interested in using a PowerBook G3 series (bronze keyboard, 333MHz)
laptop on public transport - a bus to be specific. How likely is this to
cause damage to the hard disk? The bus I use is the 72 bus, which turns
a lot of corners and can bounce up and down a fair bit. It's a question
of how robust the G3 laptop is, and I cannot find very much information
on the internet at all.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris Taylor
