Ok, I just got my Street Magic book in today and I'm just reading though it to kill time on the weekend. I'm liking what I'm reading so far, it's good stuff.
One thing I came across that interests me though is the Latent Awakening quality. In the first paragraph it rambles off that you cant have any magical ability at Char Gen and whatnot... What the hell, let me quote it...

QUOTE
A character who takes the Latent Awakening quality starts the game as a mundane but may Awaken later and become magically active. At the start of the game, the character does not possess a Magic attribute and may not invest BPs in magical skills, spells, or bound spirits. The character may not have the Adept, Astral Sight, Magician, Mystic Adept, or Spell/Spirit Knack quality.


Based off that, you can take a Technomancer, which is already a huge karma sink, and make it magically active during gameplay, thus making her the greatest karma sink in the entire universe! :vegm:

And yes, I do know that you cant actually do that. It's just interesting that they left a legal loophole that a rules nazi can try and exploit... though I dont know why they would. :P
