Yeah, but money isn't everything- what did Dankwalther do with it? Tried to bankrupt Novatech. Yeah, that was money well spent. Oh, where is he now? How about Novatech? Still a shark among the big ten?

Dankwalther was an idiot.

By the way, when do you think they're gonna make a nanotech cyberdeck, one that is just a series of machines in a symbiotic relationship with your brain?

Reminds me of Deus Ex. I mean, who needs muscle replacements when you have nanites restructuring your muscles on the fly?

Wouldn't the Nanite factory that you need to keep the nanites fresh be just as invasive and the implanted cyberdeck???

possibly, but with a DNI and some headware memory space, you could have one hive upkeeping a whole slew of nanite systems.

That's scary.  What happens if the programing gets corrupted?

Well, running on the edge is always a little frightening.

but if you look at the other 'similar' ware, there's no shortage of people signing up to get it done.

cybermancy,
Move by Wire systems,
and other extreamly invasive systems are still selling like hotcakes... and you can spot the slot who's got it done a mile away.

he's the one that's been running for awhile, and is still alive.

True.  I suppose the need to have that little edge can outweigh the risks...

plus, a nanotech deck would look like any other nanite system to scanners... you couldn't be able to tell the diffrence between oxy-rush and a C4 deck.
that in and of it's self would be worth something.
