ost_uid0]Top 10 Holodeck Programs:
10. "A Day In The Life Of Captain Kirk": Scenario in which you go around karate-ing bad guys, flirting with the opposite sex, and reducing computers to rubble
9. Word Association. Yes, it's still around even then
8. "Whack-an-Officer": Hard day at the office? Your superiors giving you all kinds of grief? Grab a big canvas mallet and whack the daylights out of them (or rather, their holographic duplicates)!
7. SimPlanet 30000. Honorable mention goes to the up-and-coming SimEmpire
6.Solitaire. Yup, that too
5. "Causality": Scenario that is basically the opposite of the Kobayashi Maru. Romulan fleets, hordes of Klingon birds-of-prey, even Borg cubes--all are helpless before you and your powerful cruddy runabout (the eponymous "Causality"). And if the jerks cheat or get lucky, the big fat Red Button on the console will get you shipshape in a second. Often used by helm officers to relieve the tension of having had a really bad day (a la "Cause and Effect" and other boomy explodey episodes)
4. "Training Program J-20": A scenario program Lwaxana uses to keep her in shape for chasing Captain Picard. Often she focuses on working her way across a jam-packed room before Picard can see her and escape
3. "Landing" (beta testing): A scenario program used by Chakotay to practice landing shuttles. He might get some actual use out of it if he ever remembered to include a planet or [i

ost_uid0] to land on
2. "Disaster": One of Janeway's programs, which she uses in emergencies when she runs out of rations and needs coffee NOW. She keeps it secret from the scriptwriters for when they decide to put Voyager on short energy supply for silly purposes of drama and stuff
1. "The Three Stooges Go To Hollywood": An entertainment program that happens to be Spock's favorite. Understandably he keeps it secret from those who "wouldn't understand", meaning everyone else in general and McCoy in particular. Several redshirts who somehow got wind of it died shortly afterwards after being sent on dangerous landing parties
