SR4 describes a Commlink as a do-everything gadget: GPS, media player, hacking machine, gaming computer, camcorder, and even a phone.
But what software/apps does the OS come with? Is there a calculator app with at least as many scientific functions as those of Windows' integral calculator? A basic painting/drawing package like MS Paint? Is it reasonable that there'd be a basic encyclopedia, akin to wikipedia, that someone could reference while outside of a wireless network? And would it be reasonable to find these files for free on the Matrix or for a nominal charge? Half related question: what sort of dice bonus would a set of reference texts give to a memory/knowledge check, if any? |
