    This sounds like its made up. It says at the end of the article it's just a concept-an idea. That doesn't mean they've ever even built one. If they had the tech to make a phone to fit between your skin, phones right now would be a lot smaller too. Forgive the pessimism, I think the idea is cool, but it'll take a little more than a vague drawing and a picture of a guys arm with ink pen scribbles on it to convince me.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Might as well get with the times and jump onboard. Simply because the more we can fool Skynet into thinking we are robots, the better.

    Pretty slick, but I think I hold out for a cyberbrain and a good anti-ghost hacking barrier. :gring:

    Haha Shadowrun, I love that game!! FASA made some good stuff back in the days, where did you find that Bart? I think I might still have that book somewhere along with some Earthdawn and Battletech/Mechwarrior stuff.

    I just did a Google image search for Street Samurai and got exactly the pic I was looking for! I played both AD&D and Shawdowrun ALOT as a kid. I remember like it was yesterday when Fasa released Shadowrun. It was really cool, back in my home town of Homewood, IL, there was this comic and game store called Fiction House. I used to get all my comics from there, and one day me and a few friends came in during a Fasa demo of Shadowrun. They had a huge table setup with a full city model and all sorts of Shadowrun miniatures. We sat down and played for a few hours, and left with a new RPG to play! I was probably like 12 or 13. I think Shadowrun and AD&D are the best RPGs I ever played. I still have most of my books also. I stopped playing in high school sometime after I moved to Florida. Sometimes I think it would be fun to get a RPG group together again, but it is pretty much the nerdiest thing in the world next to Star Trek. I have met very few "normal" adults who play RPGs. Most of the adult RPGers that I have met are like, SUPER NERDS. You know the type, no personal hygiene, complete social ineptitude, and extreme personalities that I cannot deal with.

    Anyway, maybe next winter when the outdoor stuff isn't happening, we can call Mr. Johnson and go on a few runs!!!
