maybe this belongs in alt.uban.folklore :-)

after the quake in Toronto, Canada last year, i read in my audio shop's
quarterly that a customers oracle delphi (III i think) handled the
quake no problem. he watched the furniture  bounce across the floor while
the table played nicely. i suspect the arm was a sme IV or V, but
i would put better trust in oracle's suspension.
