The way I ran it was that you could have a cyberdeck tucked into
all manner of tiny things if you built it using the standard
construction rules but using cranial components instead of
standard ones. I wouldn't expect it to be as small as an earring,
but you could easily tuck it into a pocket secretary. (I think of
C^2 decks as being about half the size of a contemporary audio
cassette-- they end up carving out some skull to make room for
it.)
