Hmmm... This argument about grounding and quickening is getting to the
point of resorting to "DID TOO!" "DID NOT!" "DID TOO!"
Redundant,
pointless, and absolutely childish.

Anyways, I've a couple of questions about cyberdecks:

1. What kind of power source do decks use? Are they internal or
external? The reason I ask is because in the
_Choose_Your_Enemies_Carefully_ novel, Hart has Jenny check the power
consumption of the apartment before she goes in. Yet, in other places,
it refers to Dodger decking from the forest in Tir Tairngir(sp?).

2. Are cyberdecks capable of accessing the Matrix via the cellular
phone network? Or are they limited to hardwired telecom lines?
