If I recall correctly, the original poster (hi Walter :-) was looking
for reliable off-site backup, and he lives on the fifth floor of a condo.
The fifth floor is a little low, but if he puts his 3-5Gb on CF or SD
cards and embeds them in something like a lawn dart he should be able to
get about a metre of penetration, no yard required.
