Yes. That's exactly what I meant. Of course.

Seriously, that is a cool idea; I can see enginered "smart" pets as being a 
"to have" item in the futre of K5.

Defintely. "My dog's smarter then your dog" et all.

That's what I was thinking, yes. And even then, because its cybernetic, its 
reatively "temporary." You can allways go back to a Humanish body at some 
point doewn the road - soft shell or the like. Or even having "multiple" 
bodies that a brain can be trasfered from - eg, a millitary option for a 
3-meter tall robnoteank body, buyt then having a softshell for Downtime and 
the like.
