They still have a power button.   ;D

But, yeah, I miss the ol' MIDI Keyboards.

Just don't ask about the very (thankfully) short lived and universally reviled Cyberdeck-Accordion (one of Saeder-Krupp's early ventures into alternate deck designs... they say Lofwyr personally ate the entire research staff for that project when it fell through) as it proved to be rubbish on a run due to it's bulk and the noise it made while decking.  :P

Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

Yep, just a little bit of photoshop and he could be wearing proper Ledhosen.  8)

Dammit, now I want to find that picture of the CDA my old GM drew up as visual aid years ago...

Sorry to bring this back to the original posting, but don't forget that Mage Sight Goggles don't allow you to just sling spells around corners without penalty. Page 444 (emphasis mine):
Quote
These devices use optical technology (glass bending or reflecting light), not electronics, to function. They have many uses, one of the most dramatic of which is that they enable a magician to obtain line of sight for spellcasting from cover, something that can’t be accomplished with electronic devices. Spellcasting targeted through optics this way suffers a –3 dice pool modifier. Optical devices can’t take vision enhancements.
Dance to the tension of a world on edge.

agreed.

But always a good idea to make sure someone is aware of the limits of a piece of gear. Too many times people think a pice of gear does one thing, but actually does an other, especially  with the edition change.
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

My 4th edition pixie rigger mystic adept had mage sight cables installed in all her vehicles.

Including the anthroform combat drones she would ride around inside of.

Nothing says "surprise!" like the apparantly zero magic aura guy blasting spells out of it's eyes suddenly.

Yes, it was in fact completly unfair. :)
