- Okay, well, one thing you're going to want is (hey, it would probably be built
- in to a cyberspace system, but what the hell) a "pointer" to your exit from
- cyberspace. So you can "beam out" of cyberspace real quick-style.

- Second, you might want to take a simple virus to destroy any nasties out there
- if you run in to trouble. Might be nice to take types of viruses, one to
- destroy programs, and one that just tags along and relays the program's vital
- statistics (place, direction of travel, size, activity level) to you or a
- log file.
-
- I'd also take along some sort of quick reference guide in soft-copy, like a
- road map or something.
-
- That's my shot. Could you tell I just finished reading Neuromancer?
