Take yer headphones off!! :-)
And then listen to the R90. You'll hear that about every thirty
seconds, it spins up to read in a blorf of data from the disc and
then shuts down again. In other words, it's using ~30 seconds of
that 40 second "anti-shock buffer" as a simple data buffer to extend
battery life. In reality, the R90 has a minimum of about 10 seconds
of shock memory. No big deal to me, at least. With blown knees,
I'm never active enough to test it :-(
