This group is just scary. My T@B pad is just beyond the range of my home network, can get signal but it's poor and I didn't want to do something to boost it. Thought about doing the olde Pringles can, but hadn't got around to it. I just put in a DC outlet (based on the std yahoo group mod list) and one of those small plug-in inverters to keep the netbook charged and was contemplating wi-fi and road trips.
