In theory, in my SR games there are multiple O/Ses. but I haven't
really quantified them to my satistaction so it has yet to become an
issue. It will become more of a pain in my deckers butt when I work out
a true system behind operating systems.

My idea about religions is more or less the same as about OS's: you go
with the one that works for you, and there's no real point in trying to
convince others about who's right and who's wrong. Which is another tie-in
with the OS debate, since people are forever trying to do so anyway...
