ABWH: Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe;basically old "Yes" members with new music.
NAGEE: The Neo-anarchists Guide to Everything Else, a unofficial supplement for
Shadowrun. Many list members contribute to this, as do members of USENET. A
bunch of ideas on SR. Take with a grain of salt, but if you run a campaign,
some of this might be of use.
SR: Shadowrun. (Can be Supper's Ready, by Genesis, but is usually not mentioned
on this list. See ABWH)
TOME: A book on equipment and other various ideas for Shadowrun. Similar to
NAGEE, only focusing more on equipment and magical ideas. We are about to
start voting on which items to keep.
TOSA: Tome of the Second Awakening... not sure if it's still around; I think
it's been incorporated into TOME.
PGP: Pretty Good Privacy; mentioned by many on this list, and on the 'net in
general. Worth getting.

Hope this helps.
