I'm not sure I understood your line about "...wanted
wear and later came..." Could you at least explain a
bit so I can get the joke???

Uh, K...
Try this. Joe Norm watched "Shadowrunners" as a kid.
Joe thought the mage was cool, but he IDOLISED the
sammie. He started getting little bits of 'ware when
he was young. When he turned 18, he joined the Army
and eventually got into Special Forces and got Wired 2
and a Smartlink and a few other things. Then one day,
some mage, a bit more observant than others, noticed
Joe was a latent mage. Or something like that.
It's more likely to happen in a situation where you're
not going to go through compulsory magical testing,
but even if you do (corper, or military joe, or
whatever) that doesn't necessarily mean you'll know
you're active before you get a bunch of cyber put in.
People slip through the cracks sometimes, or sometimes
they only manifest late. There's nothing in SR that
says "all potential mages manifest at puberty" or the
like.
I believe that's what the lady was alluding to.
