Well if we are going to get into that then we are supposeing that gangers are
literate. So the question is ARE THEY? I think the Literacy rules are a bit
too giving. Especially with the amount of effectively free points the
Shadowrunners can get I have no problems requireing them to pay a couple to be
able to read and wright. JMNSHO.

back to the e-mail system. I think the world of the PDA's (oh whatever the 2k
nuyen thing is.) that wireless coms are the way of the day. What about loss
of signal rules? Bad weather meaning no satellite. Welcome to the sprawl.
"Damn I never can check my messages when I am around the Renraku buildings how
annoying." All of that rot. Jamming is great but how much jamming is
feasable? Hummm... Thoughts running in my head.
