And seeing as there are copyright safeguards, it might be best if the
skillsofts were copied using a chip-burner also. IMO, there has to be some
sort of copyright safeguard which keeps a skillsoft from being copied. And I
know that there are programs out there which can recognize when they have/are
being copied and can stop the effect, and maybe this is something a decker
would need to hack first before doing a blind copy of a skillsoft chip.

True, much better than what I first said.

I personally liked the Cleopatra chip myself, I would have liked to have seen
what would have happened if the chip had been given a few years to develop and
then seen what sort of a fiendish run would occur by then.
