Well, some of the prescription drugs are nice, I hear. I couldn't cite
examples because I don't do them.

Wouldn't know. Never bought it (or used it). It was an example compared to
BTLs and one of the costs listed in the books.

Well, I'll keep that in mind when I quit my job and become a heroin addict.

Mmm, yeah, sorta. It doesn't really answer the question on differing BTL
prices because all the prices were listed in books dealing with Seattle
generally. Underworld, New Seattle, SR3, and others are Seattle-centric,
basing what happens in Seattle on how it affects the rest of the world.
Perhaps if those prices listed were for various different areas, the
confusion wouldn't have arisen.
