Interesting idea!  Not usable for me at present because 
one of the risks where I live is forest fire so it's
possible the whole neighborhood will burn up at the same 
time.  The other reason is that I live in a third-world 
part of the US where 128kb isdn is considered cutting 
edge technology.  We don't even have cell phone coverage 
here.

I thought that with DVDs I could bring them to work and 
keep them in the office for safe keeping.  I suppose I
cold do the same with some kind of portable HD but dvd
seems like a cheaper solution that will also provide for
archiving and well as backup.
