Now, I've seen both extremes of deckers and their cyberware. Personally, my
character has minimal cyber, just a datajack and 50 MPs memory. Zat's it!
However, a decker might buy skillwires.skillsofts. Although these are very
expensive essence and nuyen wise, you could just slot in a Decking-12 chip(spe-
cialization) and really cook through the matrix. Also, you could slot a Firear
ms-8 and actually stand a chance of hitting something in a fight.
Personally, I don't like the fact that the decker tends to have to hide behind
the Sammies. Oh well, better that than dead, eh??

I'm not sure if I would grant hacking pool from a skillsoft, and as someone
said before, I wouldn't trust such a chip no matter where it comes from.

On top of this, I was under the impression that skillsofts could not
exceed a rating of 10.

Hoi, chummers!

Just recently, I was checking out the Decker Archetypes in
NAGEE 5. I noticed that there was some cyberware called a Math SPU and
an Encephalon and Headware Memory(FIFF). There was also ratings for
the Datajacks. Now, I knew that the rating system for Datajacks
existed, but I know not how it works. I have not even heard of any of
the other aforementioned cyberware, save for Headware Memory (but I
don't understand the 'FIFF'). I was hoping that someone out there in
ShadowRN land could post or mail me direct (direct would be
preferable) an explanation of this stuff. As always, thanx big time
chummers!
