Welcome to the list (oh, and try not to use the spelling techniques taught
at the Prince School of Writing -- not everyone here speaks English as a
first language).

Unless it specifically states otherwise (which it doesn't), you have to
have a skill to use for centering. Of course, this could be the same skill
you want to augment: taking Unarmed Combat as a centering skill, and then
using it to reduce the penalties for Unarmed Combat may be allowed by the
GM, but then again it may not.

Not really, unless you have decker or rigger PCs; for them, Virtual
Realities 2.0 and the Rigger Black Book are good stuff. Especially VR 2.0
is a must if you plan on doing any matrix runs at all, the RBB is handy
for giving more choice and the option of customizing vehicles. However,
you may want to wait about 3 or 4 months to buy the RBB, since version 2
is supposed to be out by then.

Ask Tinner if you aspire to be an Evil GM(tm) :)

It stands for Big Black Book -- the SR2 main rules, since the background
color of the cover is black. SR1 was very dark blue, and so was known as
the Blue Book.

Try the Really Complete But Still Highly Unofficial Physad Handybook (I
hope I got the title right) by Brett-whose-last-name-I-forgot-(sorry!),
which I believe is available from Paolo's SR archive.
