  Hey all, Long time listener, first time caller.  In response to
Geoff's question, if you look in the grey box on page 84 of Cyborgs, it 
lists that all cans come with an AI, a SRU, and a spirit fetter.  The 'borg  
just doesn't function right without them.  Thanks for all the great ideas, 
guys.  Keep up the good work!
