Here is an easier shortcut to Yahoo's data:
http://chart.yahoo.com/t?a=12&b=31&c=79&d=12&e=31&f=91&g=d&s=&y=0&z=%5Espc
This takes you their historical data input menu. I do not know how to get
there from Yahoo Finance but...
Thanks everyone for the info...it looks like the Internet has just shaken
another business (Data Providers).
