Really? I haven't read Matrix much, but there used to be rules for them in
VR 2.0. Essentially, they costed half as much, and took up significantly
more space, and weighed heaps more.

I usually tend to think that the million nuyen decks that PCs run around
with are not exactly the norm for corp employees, even the decker ones. Only
a couple of corp employees would get million nuyen decks - the rest would
have more economical options. Likewise, PC sammies often tend to have
tricked out guns worth thousands and thousands of nuyen. Most corp security
personnel in your game must be very dangerous if you equip them with
_better_ guns and armour than your players use :-).
As Jane mentioned, ICE is often a more effective protective measure than a
decker. The advantage of a decker is that he is very versatile.
