OK, let's get weird here: how many megapulses does (or would) a standard PC in the SR world have? (I do not have the new Matrix books, so if the answer can be found there, please tell me.) I'm not talking a backup machine or something for creating decking utilities, but your average personal computer for office work, something a non-decking character could have in her house.
I've beginning to question this because IIRC, the cost of a Mp is 50 :nuyen:, which would make a 120Gp PC (and I'm assuming a Mp = Mb) damned expensive, even though a 120 Gb hard drive is considered somewhat behind the SOTA in modern-day terms. Admittedly, the more I think about it, the more it confuses me: for example, 200 Mp in a pocket secretary is...well, it sounds kind of weak, even if they're not counting the OS and included programs. Hell, how many Mp would a standard document take up? |
