It is 2008, there is an Ultimate BR       edition out there and a new FN and all that new info has to be       incorporated in the BR FAQ dude!!! I'd do it myself, but given that I       can just grab some minutes to post here and struggle with anything       else BR, I wouldn't rely on me...              Netrunner       --       Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
