Well, here I go again... J. Williams was correct in his assumption, but
i was trying to infer that the boost had been implanted long before the ally was
conjured... if it occured afterward, the ally would obviously not get the
bonus. Hmm... any thing wrong with that assumption?

Computer reflex recorder: J. Williams said that it was definately not
an active skill, knowledge maybe.... Well if you ever read the basic book, and
an earlier post of mine (earlier today, that is) it most definately is an active
skill and is most definately not a knowledge skill. He said that it was mainly
'mind stuff' and 'NOT typing keys quickly.' however in Shadowtech under the
description of Enhanced Articulation it says that the +1 reaction will not help
PURE CYBERNETIC decking. This infers that it does help if you are using some
sort of keyboard as part of your interfacing... And logically a reflex recorder
for computer skill would also help, but most likely only if you were using a
keyboard, since it would allow your to hit the keys faster (response time, due
to the recorder) and therefore get your code in faster, or perhaps more code in
a shorter amount of time... Any other opinions or hard facts?????
