Default Re: How do you upgrade a tattoo computer?

Just incidentally, a full body tattoo computer is probably not a good idea for anyone with a nonsedentary lifestyle. The rules in UT say that a printable computer is ruined everytime the surface its' printed on is penetrated (specifically when "the surface its on is broken").

This would be at least slightly less annoying if your full body printed computer was in your clothes instead of on your skin.

Things like this are probably why the subject hasn't come up before.

More importantly it makes the printed computer on the Military CyberSuit a bad idea. Even if it's printed _under_ the armor layer your suit goes dumb even if you survive the that first penetrating hit.

Printed computers are probably a bad idea generally. They're -1 Complexity without giving you a price break and have storage reduced by a factor of 1000x. I suppose that disposably cheap Printed computers might be used in trivial roles but serious use would be highly probable to avoid the option.
