Camera/self-destruct defective?

I had the software for these things running, but got caught and now have to start over. Why didn't they work? I got to the 'Mage' (sp) rating...

You have to trigger the self-destruct manually. Just keep an eye on the motion sensor and when (if) it turns red, press the destruct button in the self-destruct window.

Can't you also just delete all hack programs from your computers so you appear innocent?

You'd think the prefix "self" would imply autonomy, but no...

Question: the help section of the uplink public access server mentions security features such as laser trip wires, which are not listed in the security section of the hardware shop. Are these things that become available at some later point in the game?

(edit) I wish there was a preview feature on this board. (/edit)

i was also wondering what the point of having gateways that support 3 or 4 security systems is when only 2 security systems exist.

Heh, imagine the tag-line they'd sell the device with.."The last upgrade you'll ever (successfully) install!"

..as the tech guy dropping off your new modem gets a faceful of pc-board shrapnel.

How do you like your Manticore..regular or extra-crispy?

What happends after you blow your gateway to dust?

------------------

A screen comes up asking if you would like to rent another gateway (at least, thats what happened after I ran "revelation" on my own to see what it does :D)

You have been warned: More haikus are coming!!!

If you have a computer with only one security system availible does it do you any good to even get one. THe only one that would actually stop the people from killing my account would be a self destruct device, but how will I know if someones coming so that I can trigger it without a camera or motion detector?
