] (heh, run the matrix with TWO or more cyberdecks) Heh, imagine once guy

] So the question is, is something like that conceivable?

>>>>>[ Scuse me if I am off track a bit; computers ain't my big thing. I
have seen 'windows' and don't they usually remain relatively
inactive until you focus on the process in that window. Now I know
you could have a process running there, but your 'sentience' isn't
really occupied with what's going on- kinda like Searle's Box theory
about the Intentionality of.. excuse me, I digress. Anyway, it would
seem that multiple icons in matrix would result in 9 of them in
a frozen and Vulnerable state while the decker's consciousness
was occupied with one of them. Such a decker would also be 10 times
as vulnerable to trace since he would have 10 decks operating from
one locale. The cost of ten decks would be quite a bit, but I
guess if he/she could run 10 icons, money wouldn't be a problem
for this super-decker. Besides, what kinda dump-shock would this
guy take if he was hit one al 10 icons at once and had to jack-out?
