I have a question that some of you might have an answer for. I was thinking
about playing an otaku character in the future and in the VR 2.0 sourcebook,
it gives some good information onhow to create them and all but they left out
one critical thing. What is an otaku's storage capacity for downloads? Any
comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

It's not in the book? They don't have one. Must use an "external" memory
device (cyber, or one of those external memory things), Heck, they can
run with a deck, if they want to. Null sweat.
Cheap stuff.

I would say unlimited...
They store everything in their mind and (supposedly) there is
no limit to the storage capacity they have up there. VR 2 seems
to assume this by allowing otaku to completely ignore the size
of a program except for time-requirements. Does anyone know
the I/O speed of an otaku? I guess just use max right? (MPCPx
Sensorx10Mp)

(MPCPxSensorx10Mp)

The i/o speed of otaku's is Intelligence X 100 Mp as stated in p.145 of
matrix 2.0

I'm betting that since they don't have to worry about the size of
anything else stored in their skull (like programs, aka complex forms),
they can store a pretty much limitless amount of data in their head. As
for game terms, it's probably easiest not to worry about it.
