Hello again!

While I continue to puzzle through the ins and outs of Shadowrun 4th Edition, I've decided to ask a more generic question this time around. Is it worth the enormous BP expenditure to play as a metasapient AI? And if so, could I run around town in a drone while technically "running" out of a harddrive back home? I don't think I'm using the right terminology, but hopefully the thought is clear enough to pierce through my inexperience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/embarrassed.gif)

If it's possible, how would you go about making one? The hacking/rigging in this game seems a bit terrifying, and from what I've read the end-all-be-all of the Matrix in 4th would be the technomancer -- a role an AI cannot play. If I want to have fun with drones, should I stick to being a regular ol' mortal?

Thanks!
