I just realized that so far as we know, none of the more monied characters has an AnthroPC. The three we know to have them are: Marten, definitely not rich, Hanners, who's income is unknown, but probably more than comfortable, and Marigold, who- come to think of it, where does she get money? None of them are wealthy, except maybeHanners. But none of the outright wealthy characters have them; not, Sven, Marten's Mom, Hanners Mom, or Natasha, the rich bitch Amir's old girlfriend. Granted, we don't see all but one of their homes, but there's no indication that they do have one, and Sven almost certainly doesn't.
So, basically: why do the poor people have the cool tech?
