Yep.  Pretty much my attitude.  I can complain all I want, but that won't 
get me reception inside my home.

After reading all the tech reviews, and this ng, I decided it was time to 
just buy the thing and try it out.  I went to the ATT store and bought the 
microcell last night.

Four days earlier, when I called ATT and they told me the solution was 
their microcell for $150, I balked at the price, and the rep said he'd note 
in my file that they'd credit my bill $50 if I bought the thing.  We'll 
see.

I haven't had time to set it up yet, but will report back in a few days.

Thanks.
