Now why would I want to do that when I have plenty of people here that
could give me a nice list, then I could have a script go through those
and pick the most popular out? Seriously, I don't want to have to
download tons of BASIC programs to find what people used when I have the
authors right here.

What's it take? 2 minutes to think of these... I'm not even expecting
the full 20 out of anyone. I just want something to go on.

Pretty please? Do I have to beg? ;)

(Maybe I don't want the answer to that question...)
