Actually, I've had something like this in mind for a while... to me, deckers
have always seemed somewhat like Astral Adepts... when they're on their
version of the Astral Plane, they are the equivalent of full magicians with
spells (programs) and even conjuring (Decker-in-a-box, the smart attack
frames that function like IC). Take them off that plane, however, and they
have a lot of theoretical knowledge of only limited use.

Thus, if I wind up playing again, I might decide to ignore the Matrix rules
and work up something more along the lines of Astral Space.
