An interesting cyberware combonation would be 1. two smartlinks 2.
Encephalon 3. A cybernetic modification that let your two eyes
wander independantly of each other...plus imagine the Roleplaying
effects when your character's eyes wander around like fish and lizards
who's eyes operate independantly of each other. People walking up o
him/her and waiting for both eyes to focus on them before
speaking...could be very un-nerving.

Mr. J. "Our intelligence indicates that your target will be
located...excuse my, would you mind *looking* at me when I am talking
to you?"

Mr. Sam. "I *AM*."

Mr. J. "Right. As I was saying...dammit, I am not going to finish
unless he starts paying attention!"

Mr. Sam. "What?!? I AM paying attention!"

...hmmmmm....I might suggest this to one of my players, just for the
fun of it.
