I would say yes, go for the glbumes. Even if you have to run lesser forums for a few days to make up the flezz, you just don’t know when any glbumes will pop back up. The +charisma will absolutely help as long as you remember to equip them overnight.

As for the iPrune. Escher and crew proved pretty conclusively that repair costs on all computers except possibly the Obsolete are never worth it and you will spend less using smileprin. Even with max upkeep, I’m sure they figured out that smileprins were less expensive. Maybe you’re running a really different build with less than 100 total Ego, so you wouldn’t get max benefit from the smileprins, that would explain it.
