One of my players has recently designed a charater with skill-wires and
was looking for a way too have a lot of skills available at any time.
And we are talking a lot he has bought over 1200 mp of skillsofts.

One of his plans was to buy a wrist computer and put all of the 1200 mp
into the thing and download it to his skill-wire when he needed it.
Can he do this, can skillwires direcly acces external memory. I would
think so. It can access the data on a skillsoft chip, so why not the data
in a standard optical computer chip.
What would be the system load delay time, or should you use the IO speed
of the computer. What is the standard IO speed of a computer.

Another question that came up was, why cyber memory should cost so
godawful lot of essence. I believe a one gigapulse optical chip is no
bigger then a thumbnail, so why does it cost aproximatly 3.3 essence
points to install. Couldn't you just such a chip in a cybereye or some
other more bulky body part, where it's presence wouldn't interfere with
the human biological and aural functions.
