Disagree - I think computer tech is notable for its absence if you read the book carefully. From memory there's the "megabytes of RAM" throwaway, a paragraph-long description of the Ono-Sendai deck, and not much else. I think it's because Gibson's focus wasn't the technology, it was the medium that the technology created. He was writing at one level of abstraction, and us geeks were reading at another, much lower level of abstraction.
