A Headware Memory prog will certainly not give a Control Pool, or even
allow for extras initiative dice. I realize that SpeedBump did not suggest
that a program emulate the VCR to that extent, but I just wanted to clear
that up. A program in memory should be treated like a skillwire, and have
the same requirements.

Now here's a question. If you're driving normall (not interfaced) and
have the appropriate skill, do you still get bonuses for Wired. I'm sure
that you don't, but since your body is moiving fast, shouldn't those
extra actions be usable in a car as well?

I realize the rigger gets bonuses for being in direct mental control, but
that allows him to perform several actions at once and gives him the
Control Pool. What I'm shooting for is: Since shifting gears, firing weapons,
etc can be actuated physically, then can't a sam with wired go
just as fast initiative wise when driving as when leaning out the window
and shooting?
