Hello All!
I've been playing with this idea for a while to throw at my players. If
anyone cares to take a look, it is a Microsoft Word 6.0 document, 109K
zipped. It's at
http://box.pcnetinc.com/hedley/shadowrun/downloads/cyberdrones.zip.
Constructive feedback will be appreciated.

Why does everyone feel SO defensive about this. Anyway my
consrtuctive comments would be to have the file a little more
cross-platformable since I have found out that I am not alone here as a
Mac user. I think I can translate into a form I can use, if any Mac
users out there can't let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

I think people are asking for *positive* feedback.
Rational replies and debate with more or less sound
reasoning. Not "that sucks cuz I say so" responses.

The phrase "constructive criticism" has become somewhat
bastardized the last couple of years.

<big snip concerning criticism and formats>

If anyone wants the cyberdrone in another format, I'd be willing to convert
it to any format that Word for Win'95 supports. I could post to my web
site or email to anyone. just say the word.

As for critisism, I guess I neglected to read that thread...

I've downloaded it, but I haven't opened it under a different
program yet, although I'm sure I have something around here that will do
that for me. Some of my new programs will let me save files as .PDF's so
I've been dieing to play with that function. I still want to write up a
complete equipment catalogue using Acrobat Pro for the best user
interface though. One Day...

Hallo out there,
"New Drone Type" sounds interesting since I think I will play a rigger
in the future, but I don't own Word 6 (you may believe it!) and would
prefer a smaller file to download. So perhaps you could make it a plain
text file (ok, I too feel sorry for all this nice formatting, so
perhaps make it HTML...) and then zip it ???
(After tha yout even might get comments...;)
