VITAS1 killed 25% by the end of 2010
VITAS2 killed another 10% in 2022

I got these out of the Timeline for Shadowrun, downloaded off Paolo's page
(if I remember correctly). And, looking through this timeline, something else
crossed my mind. How do y'all handle the "nega-magicians"? I know the offical
FASA line is to have none in any modules, but I was wondering how players
used them if at all.

Lots... enough so that the current population (in 2050+) is only around 3-4
billion... Some parts got of lightly, others (especially third-world
countries) got nearly wiped out.

No.

Real Programmers never work 9 to 5. If any real programmers
are around at 9 am, it's because they were up all night.

I know that the london percentages are in the london books, don't remember
right off hand but I think it was in the area of 12-24 percent, I read it
earlier. Sorry if I am off. I haven't heard anything about the infantacide
but that is a hard one to figure, I would say use current infanticide figures
for non-industrial nations or nations such as China or India. You get the
idea I am sure. See ya Chummer.
