Maybe it's just a question of style. In the same manner that having a
samurai without speed increase is. I know, I know there was the ork
street samurai who didn't have speed increase, plus speed increase has
a rather obvious advantage.
Suggestion for use: Storage for a key.
You add a small component to your deck. This component is connected to
the interfaces (ASIST and keyboard). If the proper code is not entered
you cannot access the deck, it won't even turn on. You then store your
key in memory and the deck automatically checks your headware memory and
if correct.. Presto. Access.
This can ofcourse also be useful to riggers.
