Possibly neither. I suspect that it feeds directly to the optic center of
your brain.
>How much of a VCR rig is headware and how much is bodyware, in terms of
Lot of both, IMO. There was a novel published several years ago entitled
"Hard Wired" (might have been Gibson, I don't own a copy myself, but I do
know that it was SBed for CP2020) that does a REALLY good job of explaining
how a rigger feels. If you haven't read it, it is worth it just for the
descriptions of Pony Boy's panzer (a form of LAV, I think) becoming his
"body" and how he used it.
>Speaking of rigging, where does that term originate from?
I suspect that it comes from "big rig". Either that, or from the rigging
of a sailing vessel. In either case, it would denote a person who lives
with, on and by his vehicle the way a John Ford western hero lived on his
horse.
