>>>>>[ Hoi there chummers! Just had a rather disturbing thought. (Yes, I
*do*
occaisonally think, contrary to other opinions.) Just how smart is a smart
frame in the Matrix? Could it, say, retrieve information all by itself? And
deposit that info in some obscure place for later retrieval? Seems to me you'd
have a decker without a deck....Hmmmmmmm.....What'd ya think?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Data tech isn't exactly my speciality, but I think that any smart
frame is
just going to be another, though perhaps very good, tool. Yes, I can see it
going along a previously determined path and doing well whatever it was set for.
Not exactly a decker, but (things that make you go) hmm. . . Better ask Herr
Doom. Wonder what they'd be like as security overseers. . . ]<<<<<
