Yea, most people that do the gig-saw face bit have a selection of wigs to choose from anyways though.

This service would probibly cater more to housewives.

Or how about reprogramming the nano for other, subdermal prossesses like bone etching or even chemical rearrangement. Nothing like getting a nice hairdo and a free brainwashing and marking for free.

Could they use nanotech to build bone lacing or dermal plating with a lower essence cost?

If I'm not mistaken, that how they already do it. See in SR, nanotech has been around for years, it was only with the experiments by Deus that nanotech got its BIG boost into what it is right now. In fact, the only way you could weave nerves with cyber is through nanites.

Actually if you read Man and Machine, they really get into the explanations of this stuff. In fact, I've talked to a few fire-arms instructors and cops about the gun rules, and they are VERY accurate as far as it goes. Having that in mind, I have to assume that the medical background info in the rulebooks is just as weel researched. So take that for what it's worth. Oh, and in 2060, almost no surgery leaves a scar. Medical lasers are such usefull things...

As I believe I've mentioned elsewhere, I don't have most of the extra books.  Although I did get around to picking up the Companion book for 3rd ed.  I already had the core book, and I can get a better balance of skills/abilities/resources for an adept using the point system than the priority system.

Hey just let me know if you want to get an e-version of those books. I'd be happy to send them over AIM.

...might be a problem as I don't use AIM.  I do, however have email, but you should probably send a message through through the forum when you do.  I have problems with junk mail, so I have to keep my filter on exclusive.

Um, I don't think e-mail is going to work on this. These files are in the 100+ Meg range. At least most of them. That's a bit too robust to go voer an e-mail.

What about compressing it as a ZIP file?

I've tried, and Acrobat files dont' really compress. Hmmm. Well damn. I could always burn you a CD and snail mail it, but it can be a bit creepy sending mailing addies to people you've just met on a BBS. Do you have any P2P trading programs??

dunno.  My own pc is 1) not currently hooked up to the internet and 2) on the fritz.  I'm not sure what kind of programs are on my parents' computer and it's kinda frowned on at the college.  I'm hoping to get a new laptop, but until I get the money...

You could always hire yourself out as a freelance medical research subject. ;) I hear that pays really well.
