The problem there is that a starting otaku almost can't have headware
memory at all...
Starting money: 5000 nuyen
Datajack: 1000 nuyen
ASIST converter: 50 nuyen
Squatter lifestyle: 100 nuyen
That leaves 3850 nuyen, enough for 25 Mp of headware memory and have 100
nuyen left over. Without the squatter lifestyle, you can get a whopping 26
Mp and have 50 nuyen to start with. Just enough for a set of clothes (I've
long ruled that if you don't buy clothes for your character, he or she
doesn't have any :)
Of course, all this means you have to do without plenty of other
essentials for at least your first run... Not sure you'd survive that,
though.
It seems much handier to let otaku port data to an offline storage device
through a second datajack or something. That way, the 2850 nuyen left over
after buying another datajack can pay for 5600 Mp...
