Furthermore, some series are harder to write than others.  I can't write

tell the difference between a 33-S and a 456-QT if they bit me on the

Well, don't let series stereotyping scare you off.  People have written, and
continue to write, some very good stories in the BGC universe with
minimal/no hardware/jargon.  "Yearnings" and "Dance of Armor" (both by
"Innpchan" and available on the archive) are two excellent examples of this.
"DoA" has minimal tech, and "Yearnings" has no tech at all. :)

Well, my RanmaPunk 2033 was low on tech too, but most BGC stories I've 
seen drown you in Technobabble...
