Yes, I've 'found' a scanner ;)
I'll check if it's possible to scan the I.C.E. Breaker book. I'll have to check if the quality is decent enough (I didn't test the scanner yet), and if I'm able to scan the book without destroying it.

It's a staple of cyberpunk to transcend one's physical body in order to become immortalized on the net ;)

You could also just press H in the game to get helpscreens showing you what everything does, and a second press gives you the KB controls, IIRC.
My face is red. Never thought to click on H. Will do right now. Thank you very much IceNine. pukey

That ref card shows that I do NOT remember correctly. It's ALT+h and ALT+o that are the keys you need for ingame help.
Thanks D'arcy. :-)

Now I know why it wouldn't work. Thanks again for the help IceNine. pukey

Shame it's not in colour and doesn't have the covers (well - they don't match mine anyway).
Favourite quote from the manual:
“The public’s basic understanding of Artificial Intelligence is all wrong. Because AIs, like the ones directing traffic in most major cities, are usually given a facial logo and a name, most people consider them electronic personalities. This is terribly off target. An AI is utterly alien to the human mind. It is an incomprehensible, autonomous thinking construct to which all concepts of morality and emotion are foreign. Just because the face on the monitor at your local library smiles at you doesn’t mean that the AI behind
it has any understanding of friendliness whatsoever. To an AI, a human being is just another variable.”
