Subject: Errata in my previous posting

As is the norm for SR, I have a correction to submit concerning my posting
on reflex recorders.

I incorrectly cited examples of program design, these fall
under the auspices of Computer Theory.

My argument still holds nonetheless, Computer skill is
primarily still a function of how well you know a system & how good you are
at figuring out new systems rather than on how fast you can type (see my
typing is a skill that everyone has at level-10 because they do it every
day (that's not the actual argument, but you get the idea)
Also, It seems that some of the rules were laid out in a
"this looks like it works" manner, and tend to be vague in special cases.
Also, as is fast becoming tradition on this list, we tend to explore
possibilities that the illustrious game designers probably never thought of,
so natch, we have to fudge a bit and use the all-powerful GM's judgement
spell to alter the fabric of reality and make it so.
I apologize for my error (and also if it seemed like my posting
was too flame-like in aspect)--It was that new IC that Renraku developed,
yeah! That's it!!!!
