*shudders* Ugh. No offense, Robert, but though it sounds, fictionwise,
fantastic.... it just wouldn't cut it in the SR world. Not really.
With runs being financed against you, and you not seeking out new info
in return through less.... 'legal' methods.

But I always thought YT was a 'good' corp 'cause they never turned on
their runners. (By which definition NC is a 'good' corp... but they use
runners, particularly deckers, with disgusting frequency, just like any
other corp out there.)

> Uh, betaware is 40% less at a x7 cost acording to the SSC.

You sure about that?? Hmmm. I thought I was working with the
following 'savings':

Alpha : 10%, x3
Beta : 20%, x7
Gamma : 35%, x11
Delta : 40%, x11
Epsilon : 45%, x20

Ptui. Whatever.

> Gamma: 50% at perhaps x12 or so (its all prototype at this point).

If it's all prototype, it'll be accordingly higher in cost. Make it
'exclusive'..... aka 'you better have a favor owed to you by one of the
higher-ups to even have a prayer'.
