Hey, I need a way to save a webpage once a day at an appointed time. I could probably find a way to get a download manager to do this, but I wanted to see if anybody could think of a way or online service I could use to archive pages periodically instead of saving the files locally. Any email, alert, etc. service anyone knows of? The pages I want to save are the most active stocks on the nasdaq, nyse, and amex every day as listed on yahoo finance: http://finance.yahoo.com/gainers?e=us
I basically just want to keep a record of these stocks every day at market's close. Ideas?

You could add the page as a favorite and install a screen capture software to capture a bitmap or jpg image when the web page is open full on the desktop. Once the images are saved you could print them out or zip them up in a compressed archive like a zip file. That would save on hard drive space.
A good tool for on the spot printing some time back was PrintNow where you would simply press the PrtScn(print screen) button and whatever was seen on the monitor would be sent directly to the printer right then. I don't know of any program that saves pages without overwriting the proceeding pages. That's why these methods would be one method of preserving each screen.
PrintNow fortunately will run on an XP system just as it did on WIN95 systems. Once you download it you simply right click on the printnow.exe file to create a shortcut to drag to the desktop. Once you double click on that all you have to do is press the PrtScn button to see the current screen sent immediately as a print job. There's no software to install. Print Screen is a newer one.
