So - which cyberware would you be willing to have in your system, nowadays? Suppose you could get the things from the game into you, would you want them? What would you modify?
Suppose whatever you could have, anyone could have. Would your list change? |

Would help with my air hockey game. |

Last time you asked, back in August '03, I said: Datajack(s), Math SPU-3, Reaction Enhancer-6, Muscle Toner-4, Muscle Aug-4, Cerebral Booster-2, Mnemonic Enhancer-3. I stand by that. I don't see much harm in letting other people have those either.

Yeah, that's a good start. If we're talking a single piece of bioware/cyberware, I want a topped out Cerebral Booster. If we're talking multiple items, then: sleep regulator, cerebral booster, mnemonic enhancer 3, nictating membranes, and pathogenic defense (as much as I can handle). Maybe muscle aug, but just to look a bit more ripped - I'm happy with my strength. Oh, and suprathyroid gland or symbiotes 3. I'm a desk jockey. Something to work against swivel chair spread would be awesome. |

Datajack
Past that, a sleep regulator, and past that, enhanced articulation. My knees keep reminding me how broken they are. |

List still looks pretty good to me. Maybe throw in something to cure this prefrontal and premotor hypometabolism. ~J |

After work this weekend I could really use a sleep regulator.
Although if I could afford one I wouldnt buy it, I would give up security work. I would take the memory enhancement package and go back to uni. Edward |

Sleep Regulator sure is popular...what does that imply I wonder?
For me a Datajack and definitely a Pain Editor. |

Cyber eyes w/ display link or image link, the "better" of the two
Datajack Headware Memory This way I can upload tutorials and other stuff into my head. Have it right in front of me while I learn. Ooh, I could upload one of those car books so I could work on my own car. Ear replacement w/ the hearing enhancement stuff (my hearing isn't so good anymore) |

The sleep regulator - because let's face it, who doesn't wish they could get by on a few hours of sleep? Mainly because at one time or other we have, and it wasn't fun. :)
Cybersenses, definitely, especially the eyes. Bye bye nearsightedness, astigmatism, and glaucoma, hello perfect vision with extras like zoom-in features, camera, etc. A cerebral booster or skillwires, even a knowsoft link, would be cool. Don't know about the mnemonic enhancer, though. Not all memories are good, and perfect recall could really be a double-edged "blessing". Definitely some of the cosmetic bioware like dietware and clean metabolism. Even some of the less cosmetic stuff like muscle augmentation and toner, or enhanced articulation - look like a bodybuilder, and feel like an athlete, without working out 4 hours a day. |

Ooo, dietware. That might be better than suprathyroid...then again, suprathyroid helps out on the athletic endeavors... |

The cybersenses is becoming more attractive. Often times I wish I could zoom in on something for convenience.
I think a Math SPU might be a little bit of a let down. Right now, I *know* calculus. But having a Math SPU (for someone else) means they just have a graphing calculator in their head, right? I mean, they can calculate faster than I can, but do they have an intuitive understanding of the subject? I don't know. I notice there's a lot of 'brain augmentation' going on. I think that's neat. |

Sleep Regulator, Enhanced Articulations, and replacemente eyes (bio or cyberware, whatever). I know I could use them all.

No, probably not. On the other hand, in the hands of someone who does know calculus, they're able to perform the calculations while tied upside-down in the middle of a field with nothing more advanced than stone-age technology (except maybe the rope) for miles around. I mean, your point is accurate, but it's only a letdown if you misunderstand what these devices are meant to accomplish. It's no more a letdown than discovering that the copy of Maple 9 on my other laptop doesn't suddenly give me an intuitive understanding of differential equations. ~J |

Diffey Screw! That's how we called it at my school. Well, mainly the kids who didn't do to well. skillwires, knowsoft, and probably cybereyes w/ thermo/lowlight/vision mag with the skillwires, you can do the cheezy, 'I know Kungfu' line from matrix... :P |

I think skillwires involving "get up, shower, get dressed, eat, get out the door" would be popular. That way, you could literally stumble out the door half-asleep.
I also think that an exercise routine would be a neat skillwire too. That way you could study for your course via your datajack, in addition to running through the paces automatically. It would be a good way of staying fit without wasting time. |

Dietware! Definitly Dietware! And clean Metabolism for the Sauerkraut-Orgies
Cybereye w. ImageLink and AntiGlare - I hate glasses! Than a 4-Slot Chipjack for all the technical manuals I lug around Math-SPU 3. I can do calculus. I can do it much better with my trusty old TI-85 at hand For the times I use good Software like Solaris, OS/390 and OS/400 or similar stuff: A Datajack. Just remember not to use it with MS or PinguCrap software Enhanced Articulation - Rheumatism runs in the family. And a Synthicardum-2 for the heart. Symbionts or a Guardian Angle for the rest of the healthcare Digestive Expansion for all the days I am forced to take an early morning (1 AM) lunch at McDrek. And a Nephritic Screen so I win in the German-Russian-Polish Pentalon[1] Internal GPS with oriantation system A steal at barely 400.000 for the basic variant and an Essence cost of 2.6 [1]German Beer, German Schnaps, Polish Wodka, Russian Wodka, Scotch |

IIRC Digestive Expansion and Clean Metabolism are incompatible.

Well, if availability and mony donŽt metter, IŽd wait for as long as my week will goes, to see the nasty longtermeffects of all the goodies. Than IŽd probably take all the non-obvious stuff, especially bio-, sense- and brainware, anyway and hope for futur therapies of the longtermeffects.
Leonisation sounds good to me ;) If IŽd have to opt for only one implant, IŽd probably go with the sleep regulator. Man sleeping as long as I WANT, every night and having half the night to do other stuff anyway, that would really ROCK :D Next in my herarchy would be mnemonic enhancer, IŽve got less problems, to understand things, then to keep stuff in memory. |
