 the data vendors don't take heed. >>

On Omega's website (www.omega.com) there is intraday data going back to March
of 1996 available to download.  I believe it is for Omega customers, but I
did not notice any security or passwords on the site.  I have noticed that
there are only about 3 or 4 days missing (because of data transmission
problems for that particular day). 

I am an Omega customer and have downloaded most all of the data for my
testing purposes.
