[ale] Grabbing a dynamic website automatically?

[Geoffrey]

You can fire up your browser from a cron script.  There are remote 
commands for Netscape, although I don't know what browser youre using or 
if other browsers permit such remote executions.  I used to load pages 
for some sights for my wife in the middle of the night and print them 
out using the Netscape remote commands.  Saved me getting up early to do 
it before she went to work.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
