Subject: Tiny Cyberdecks

What with the disgustingly low number of messages sent today I thought I
should throw something in for us to muse over;

If cyberdeck manifacturers can make decks small enough to fit inside
someone's head (or wherever else in someone's body). Can they make decks
that look like something else like a pair of earings, a pair of sunglasses,
a jackstopper or any number of other items, all could be done with an
internal batery pack, a radio celular link and in some cases, an induction
pad mounted where the deck touches the user.

If you really wanted you could miss out the storage and active memory on the
deck and do it all via headware memory to make the item even smaller.

So:
A) is this realistic?
B) what kind of price multipliers would you put on such decks
and C) any other ideas as to what they could look like.

Phil

Let us assume we have a can opener.
