I am, yes, a turtle. You think for one minute that I, being a mage, would want
ANY cyberware in me? Sorry but I prefer to have none. I choose to go turtle
for that reason. I like to be able to know what's going on with the rest of the
runners though, so the Matrix is a good place to find out what I need to know.
This, of course, is my situation. What about all you other decker/mages? How
are you using the Matrix?]<<<<<
