Does anyone really think that the C2 decks are worth it?
A starting character with a 6 in Computer can design the following
normal C2
MPCP 9 6
Hardening 4 3
Memory 450 300
Storage 5000 --
Load 90 60
I/O 45 60(?)
Response 2 1
Essence -- 2.6
Cost 119,461 305,882

Then again, to be fair, I can't remember if the price for the C2 includes
the persona programs or not (which are expensive).
The normal deck price includes the hardware for accessing off-line storage.

Anyone else notice that persona programs with a fairly high rating are
incredibly expensive? ex: a rating 9 bod program costs (9x9x3)x1,000 = 243,000
To me it seems kind of odd to be able to design and build a c-deck for less
than the cost of the persona programs to go in it.

well, just a thought or two...
