What are some tactics to use for a mage when they are astrally projected??

For example how can an astrally projected mage read a computer screen text in the physical world. Would he have to use the manifesting power of a spirit to do this??

The SR Main book indicated that an astral being could manifest itself into the physical world which is why I made the suggestion to do this and attempt to read the text on the computer screens.

I guess I am a little confused. If an astral being can't read text or interact on the physical world then why go through the trouble of magic/astral security; reading auras are useful in tracking, but not really the emotional state of someone unless you are trying to subtlely manipulate them like using a negotiation or interrogation skill roll.

It just doesn't seem like a high threat risk to me.

Assuming your lucky enough to find a person who is astrally perceiving at the time just how effective is the possession metamagic technque to get around this type of situation.
