one thing we need to remeber in shadowrun is that many people can't
really read (see the book changling) this includes many deckers

shadowrun society is based on icons, you look at the icon and
understand from there words are most of the time just icons
in making a computer program you really don't know how to write each
liitle word like you do now ; you just put together all the little icons
together that you want to make the program and what it can do
(in fact i believe there are already 2-3 languages out there
that you do this with) (please confirm or deny this for me)


also has anyone come up yet with the difference between normal
cyberdecks and those with pure cyber command
the way i'm running it is all cyberdecks are normal
c 2 decks (shadow tech) are pure cyber command
i might also let them make an external cyber deck
(like a normal deck only cybercommand)
this would mean a higher cost ( x 4 ?? )

please give info on both these ideas
