The largest 25 companies is sufficient.

Are you looking for companies headquartered in SF or that simple have
a presence there?

Headquartered, e.g. Cisco, Intel, HP, eBay, Google, Applied Materials,
Electronic Arts.  Not Bank of America (formerly in SF).  I'm not
overly picky if there are a few mistakes.  My underlying objective is
to figure out where Electronic Arts is ranked.  You can use either
recent values or end of 2003.  I don't want to go back sooner than end
of 03.  Thanks.
