This was sent to just me, but maybe one of y'all can help him. I
/think/ he's asking about when Cyberware (as we know it in Shadowrun) was
first avaliable, and not when it admitted to being of an alternate sexual
preference. *grin*

I read your E-Mail address in a FAQ file. So I am hoping that you
know about ShadowRun to help me.
My big question is... when did Cyberwear come out?
I looked thru a time line file, 3 different FAQ files, and ALL of my
ShadowRun books (first and second editions) but was unable to find
it. Thank you for your help. In case you are wondering, I'm running
a Vampire: the Masquerade game moving into the ShadowRun era :-)
Again I thank you.

I think that cyberware became mass marketable in the year 2012 (give or
take 10 years)

I'd say around 2025-2035. Basing my dates on the fact that most cybersystems
have neural interfaces invloved (excepting things like dermal armour and
bone lacing). In 2029 the Crash of '29 occurred, spurring the Echo Mirage
project. From this project came the first true cyberdecks, and with them,
the first true neural interfaces. Some more simplsitic cyberware would have
existed earlier, but the real stuff needs advanced interfaces, which did not
exist until after Echo Mirage.
